Notes
Storage: Store any leftover Lobster & Crab Butter Bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them individually wrapped in plastic wrap and then placed in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
Reheating: To reheat, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the butter bombs on a baking sheet and heat for about 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through and the breadcrumbs are crispy. Alternatively, you can reheat them in an air fryer for 5-7 minutes for a crunchy texture.
Serving: Serve Lobster & Crab Butter Bombs as an appetizer or a main dish. Pair them with a side of lemon wedges and a light dipping sauce, such as garlic aioli or a spicy remoulade, to enhance their rich flavors.
Chef’s Tip: For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a pinch of Old Bay seasoning to the mixture before forming the bombs. This will enhance the seafood profile and add a delightful kick to each bite.
