How to Cook Crab-Stuffed Lobster Tails with Dirty Rice<\/strong><\/h2>\nNo matter how well you prepare your crab stuffing and rice, this recipe can only reach peak perfection with the right lobster as a base. And luckily for you, we\u2019re using Omaha Steaks Cold Water Lobster Tails<\/a>! These succulent delicacies are sustainably caught straight from the icy waters of Maine and then prepped and frozen the same day to lock in an ocean-fresh flavor and exquisite texture you simply can\u2019t get anywhere else. But don\u2019t forget about your side dish! Preparing your dirty rice with Omaha Steaks Ultra-Premium Ground Beef<\/a> made from real Omaha Steak trimmings truly brings the experience to a whole new level.<\/p>\n1. Elevate a Basic Rice Side Dish to An Extraordinary One<\/strong><\/h3>\nWhile the stuffed lobster is the main attraction of this meal, it\u2019s only enhanced by the accompaniment of dirty rice, a Southern staple that starts with a base of nutty jasmine rice and levels up the flavor with a variety of seasonings and additions to create a wonderfully unique taste. First thing\u2019s first: rinse your jasmine rice with water until the water runoff is clear, then drain it. Next, add vegetable oil to a large sauce pot and bring it to medium-high heat.<\/p>\n
Once your pot has come to temperature, add your Omaha Steaks Ultra-Premium Ground Beef<\/a>, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika and saut\u00e9 for five minutes, until it\u2019s nicely browned. Using a slotted spoon, then remove the browned beef and set it aside for later. Next, add butter and then your red bell pepper and green and yellow onions and saut\u00e9 for two minutes until it is lightly caramelized.<\/p>\nNow it\u2019s time to add your jasmine rice and tomato-based sofrito, which you\u2019ll saut\u00e9 for one minute before adding the cooked ground beef back in with your chicken stock. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce to a simmer for 10 minutes before turning off the heat and leaving the pot to sit \u2013 with its lid still on \u2013 for another five minutes. And finally, you\u2019ll fluff the rice with a fork and season with salt and pepper for the ideal dirty rice experience.<\/p>\n
2. Stuff Extra Flavor into Your Crab Stuffing<\/strong><\/h3>\nWhile your dirty rice is cooking, this is a great time to prepare your crab stuffing. As easy to make as it is to enjoy, this can be done in two simple steps. First, whisk together mayonnaise, Old Bay\u00ae seasoning, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice in a medium bowl until they\u2019re well incorporated. Then gently fold in the crushed butter crackers and your crab meat until it is all well incorporated and set aside. It\u2019s really that simple!<\/p>\n
