Ingredients

Scale

Seafood

  • 1 pound lobster meat
  • 1 pound crab meat

Butter Mixture

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, lobster meat, crab meat, lemon juice, minced garlic, Old Bay seasoning, chopped fresh parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. Make sure all components are evenly distributed within the mixture.
  2. Mix Thoroughly: Using a spatula or spoon, mix the ingredients until well combined, ensuring the butter coats the seafood and seasonings thoroughly to create a consistent texture.
  3. Form Log Shape: Transfer the mixture onto a piece of parchment paper, then roll it tightly into a log shape using the parchment paper to help shape and hold the mixture together.
  4. Chill to Firm: Place the rolled log into the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, allowing the butter bomb to firm up and the flavors to meld properly.
  5. Slice and Serve: After chilling, remove from the refrigerator, unwrap the parchment paper, and slice the log into rounds. Serve chilled as an elegant appetizer or a luxurious topping.

Notes

  • For best texture, ensure the butter is softened but not melted before mixing.
  • Adjust seasoning like salt, pepper, or Old Bay according to taste preferences.
  • Can be served on crackers, bread, or atop grilled seafood for extra flavor.
  • Keep refrigerated and consume within 3-4 days for freshness.
