- 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, creating a creamy and velvety texture that enhances the richness of the lobster and adds a smooth and tangy flavor to the dish.
- Unsalted butter for serving or as desired, providing a luscious and indulgent option for dipping the lobster meat, adding a rich and creamy texture that enhances the overall experience.
- Salt to taste, allowing you to season the lobster claws to perfection and enhance its natural flavors.
- freshly ground black pepper to taste, adding a subtle and spicy note that complements the other seasonings and brings depth to the dish.
- 1/4 of freshly squeezed lemon juice , offering a bright and citrusy element that cuts through the richness of the lobster and adds a refreshing touch.
- 1/2 tablespoon of Old Bay seasoning providing a flavorful blend of spices that adds a distinct and savory taste to the lobster.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the lobster claws in a single layer for even cooking.
- Drizzle lemon juice, add butter, and season with black pepper and salt for flavor.
- Bake the lobster claws for about 10 minutes until heated through.
- Mix mayonnaise, lemon juice, and Old Bay Seasoning in a small bowl for the dressing.
- Allow the baked lobster claws to cool briefly.
- Serve the lobster claws with the prepared dressing on the side for customization.
Notes
- For a more pronounced flavor, you can marinate the lobster claws in lemon juice, butter, salt, and pepper for 30 minutes before baking.
- If you’re serving the lobster claws as part of a salad or sandwich, lightly toast some bread to complement the flavors.
- If you don’t have Old Bay Seasoning on hand, use your favorite seafood seasoning blend instead.
- To make the dish healthier, replace mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or mashed avocado.
- You can also sprinkle some fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro to add a touch of brightness to the dish.
- Serve with a side of steamed vegetables and a wedge of lemon for an extra burst of flavor.
- For a more substantial meal, serve with grilled potatoes and a fresh garden salad.
- If you want to make the dish even richer, drizzle some melted butter over the lobster claws just before serving.
- You can also add some garlic or onion powder for added flavor.
- To add a bit of sweetness to the dish, sprinkle some red pepper flakes over the lobster claws just before baking. This gives the dish a subtle kick that pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the lobster meat.
- If you’re looking for an extra touch of luxury, top your lobster claws with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese. This adds a salty and nutty flavor to the dish, making it even more delicious!
