  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Pull the edges of the split lobster shells apart and gently lift tail meat to rest above the shells. Place tails onto a baking sheet and brush meat with melted butter.
  • Gently mix crabmeat, clarified butter, crushed crackers, parsley, lemon juice, seafood seasoning, lemon zest, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Spoon 1/2 of the mixture into each tail; press gently to pack mixture so it doesn't fall off.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until meat is opaque and the stuffing is golden brown on top, 10 to 12 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the lobster tail should read 145 degrees F (65 degrees C).
