Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)
• 2 ½ pounds lobster
• 3 large jalapeno peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded
• 6 slices thinly sliced bacon

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

Step 2

Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Boil lobsters until they turn bright red and the claws are easily pulled off, 20 to 25 minutes.

Step 3

Break lobster claws and tail removing as much meat as possible. Discard shells. Roughly chop the meat and transfer to a bowl.

Step 4

Mix melted butter, chives, and hot sauce with the lobster; season with salt and pepper. Spoon mixture into the jalapeno halves and wrap each tightly with a slice of bacon, wrapping three times around each popper and trimming bacon so there is no excess hanging off the edges. Arrange onto a baking sheet.

Step 5

Bake in preheated oven until bacon is browned, about 15 minutes.
