Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
  2. Prepare your seafood: if using fresh lobster, boil until cooked, then remove meat from shells; if using frozen or canned, drain and thaw if necessary.
  3. Place the 3 cups of prepared lobster, crab, or shrimp in a large mixing bowl.
  4. Sprinkle the lemon juice evenly over the seafood and gently toss to coat.
  5. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the light cream, butter, and soft bread crumbs.
  6. Bring the cream mixture just to a boil, stirring constantly to melt the butter and dissolve the crumbs.
  7. Pour the hot cream mixture over the seafood and stir gently to combine.
  8. Add the prepared mustard, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt to taste, stirring carefully to distribute the seasoning.
  9. Grease a casserole dish with butter and pour the seafood mixture into it.
  10. Top the casserole with 1 cup of buttered cracker crumbs (crushed Saltines work well).
  11. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the center is bubbly.
  12. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Note

Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven to maintain texture.

Substitutions: Any firm white fish can be added to the mix. For a richer sauce, substitute heavy cream for light cream.

Tips: Ensure the seafood is fully drained before adding to the sauce to prevent a watery casserole. Crush the crackers finely for an even crust.
