How to Remove Lobster Tail Shells

First time cooking seafood? No problem!

Remove the lobster tail shells by cutting down the top middle all the way to the tail with scissors, or pressing a sharp chef’s knife through the same spot to split the tail in half. Remove the meat by pulling it out, then chop it up.

What Temperature to Cook Lobster

Cook the lobster meat in a medium skillet over medium heat in a tablespoon of melted butter. Stir it often, it only takes about 3 minutes to cook. When it’s done it turns white and kinda looks like popcorn! Empty it straight into your slow cooker.

In the same pan you cooked the lobster, add another tablespoon of cooking oil and cook the scallops on one side for about 2-3 minutes. The recipe will need only two (I cooked four so my family would have a couple to sample). Flip them over and brown the other side for about a minute. Then remove from heat, chop them up and place the pieces into the slow cooker with the lobster. It’s alright if they’re a little underdone, they’ll finish cooking in the slow cooker. You can cook the scallops and the lobster together to save even more time!

All the ingredients assembled in a slow cooker ready to melt for one hour to create Cheesy Lobster Shrimp and Crab Dip.

The rest of the recipe is simple because the shrimp and crab meat is already cooked, so you’ll just place all the rest of the ingredients into the slow cooker and give them a good stir-around.
