I have never questioned myself on whether my mother has
given me every happiness of life; simply because I am alive because of her and
she has gifted me an entire life and taught me to be who I am today. I owe
everything to my dear mother. She has given me birth and is my sole support
even if I am busy with work.
Whenever I sit and recollect my childhood memories, I see so
many things she has given me; so many times she has saved me and so many moments
she has stood by me. I am proud to be her daughter because she is my guardian
angel.
This mother’s day I am thinking of gifting her something
special. No, I can’t afford a beach trip, neither can I afford a luxury dinner
for four at a 5 star restaurant; all I can do is to prepare some great food
that will taste as good as those served in eateries.
Now, that I am her little girl, it is quite obvious of me to
know her tastes. Yes, she loves to hog on seafood and loves it more when
prepared at home.
So, this Mother’s day I will add a sentimental touch to the luscious
dinner menu. Considering her emotional nature, she might as well shed a tear or
two to find out that I have taken the initiative to prepare for her a grand lobster dinner on Mothers day. Now, I have a recipe and I am going to share
it with daughters from across the world, who loves their mother like no one
else.
This one is called baked and stuffed lobster. Here it is for
you Mom:

- Unsalted butter, 8 tbsp (extra 3 tbsp for brushing)
- Coarsely chopped onion, 2 tbsp
- Tarragon leaves picked and chopped coarsely, 2 tbsp
- Italian Parsley leaved picked and chopped, 2 tbsp
- Shrimps shelled, 4 oz
- Black pepper (freshly ground)
- Kosher salt
- Hand-picked live Maine lobsters, 2
- Crackers, 3 oz
Preheat an oven to around 425°F. Firstly take a medium
skillet and heat it over medium flame. Now, melt 8 tbsp of butter. Next, add
onion and cook them till they turn tender and brown. Add the parsley and
tarragon and stir them well. Add the shrimps and cook the herby mixture. Keep
the mixture aside and let it cool. Season the mixture with pepper and salt.
Now, take a cleaver to half lobsters lengthwise. Eliminate
the intestine and head sac and remove tomalley along with the roe. Next, crack
each claw on one side. Season lobster meat with pepper and salt and then on a
roasting pan place lobster halves.
After this, add crumbled crackers with mixture and then
stuff lobsters with mixture. Stuff lobsters tightly to avoid coming-off. Next,
brush lobsters with butter or olive oil and bake them till the stuffing turns
crispy golden in color.
