- Push both sections of the shell together and place the split lobster on top of the shell.
- Spoon some of the butter over top of the lobster, place in a baking pan and into 350 degree oven.
- Allow lobster to bake for 5 minutes so that the area you are stuffing will get partially cooked.
- Remove lobster from oven after the partial cooking and dividing the crab imperial mixture into two portions, stuff the top of the lobster tail, making a mound with the crab imperial.
- Return lobster to the oven and continue baking for 15-20 minutes until topping has a nice golden color.
- Remove Stuffed Lobster from the oven and spoon just a little bit more of the butter on the stuffed lobster.
- Serve with your favorite side dish, and after presenting the dish to the table, gently remove the stuffed lobster completely from the shell and return to the plate.
- Serve with melted butter and enjoy!
