Source: PoolLobster

4 Maine lobster tails
¼ pound unsalted butter, melted
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 sprigs fresh chopped Italian parsley
¼ pound raw Maine shrimp
salt and freshly ground pepper
½ sleeve Ritz crackers, crumbled

Sauté the onion in half of the butter until soft but not browned. Stir in the parsley and shrimp and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Fold the crackers into the mixture. Butterfly the lobster tails by splitting the back with a sharp knife down the center of the tail. Do not cut the tail all the way through. Discard the vein. Season the tails with salt and freshly ground pepper. Divide the seafood mixture evenly among the tails and brush with the reserved butter. Bake approximately 18 minutes in a 350-degree oven or until done.
