Stuffed Lobster Tails

Ingredients
Ingredient Checklist
2 tablespoons whole-milk plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons finely chopped roasted red peppers
½ teaspoon 30%-less-sodium Old Bay seasoning
½ teaspoon grated lemon zest
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 ½ tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, divided
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh tarragon, divided
5 ounces fresh lump crabmeat, drained and picked over
4 (5 ounce) fresh or frozen lobster tails, thawed if frozen
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, divided
¼ cup whole-wheat panko
Lemon wedges for serving

Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Combine yogurt, mayonnaise, roasted red peppers, Old Bay, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon parsley and 3/4 teaspoon tarragon in a large bowl. Fold in crabmeat; refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 2
Using kitchen shears, cut straight down top center of each lobster tail shell. Use a spoon to gently release the meat from each side of the shell. Gently pull the meat out and place on top of the shells. Arrange the lobster tails in a 9-inch-square glass baking dish. Brush with 1 tablespoon melted butter. Bake until starting to turn opaque, but not cooked through, about 5 minutes.

Step 3
Combine panko, lemon zest, and the remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1/2 tablespoon parsley and 1/4 teaspoon tarragon in a small bowl; stir well to fully coat the panko.

Step 4
Mound about 1/4 cup of the crab mixture onto each partially cooked lobster tail, cupping gently with your hand to keep it in place. Sprinkle each with about 4 teaspoons of the panko mixture. Bake until the lobster is almost cooked through and an instant-read thermometer registers 130°F, about 8 minutes. Turn the oven to broil; broil until the lobster is fully cooked and opaque and the breadcrumbs are toasted and golden brown, about 2 minutes.
