1. 1

   Gather the ingredients and 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.

3. 3

   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.
