### Ingredients
- **2 live lobsters** (1.5 to 2 pounds each)
- **1 cup cooked lobster meat**, chopped
- **1 cup crabmeat** (optional)
- **1 stick (1/2 cup) salted butter**, melted
- **1 sleeve of Ritz crackers**, crushed
- **1 teaspoon lobster base** (or seafood seasoning)
- **1 egg**, beaten
- **1 teaspoon salt**
- **1 teaspoon pepper**
- **1/2 cup fresh parsley**, chopped
### Instructions
1. **Preheat the Oven**: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. **Prepare the Lobsters**:
- Carefully split the lobsters in half lengthwise. Remove the intestinal sack and the intestinal vein from the tail. Save any green tomalley (the liver) for the stuffing if desired.
- Place the split lobsters on a baking sheet, shell side down.
3. **Make the Stuffing**:
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped cooked lobster meat, crabmeat (if using), melted butter, crushed Ritz crackers, lobster base, beaten egg, salt, pepper, and parsley. Mix well until combined.
4. **Stuff the Lobsters**:
- Spoon the stuffing mixture generously into each lobster half, pressing down lightly to pack it in.
5. **Bake**:
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 35 to 40 minutes, or until the lobster meat is cooked through and the stuffing is golden brown.
6. **Serve**:
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your baked stuffed lobster with melted butter and lemon wedges on the side.
### Tips
- For added flavor, consider mixing in some minced garlic or shallots into the stuffing.
- If you prefer a crunchier topping, you can add some additional crushed crackers on top of the stuffing before baking.
- Be sure to serve with lobster crackers and tools to make enjoying your dish easier!
