Directions:Melt 2 ounces of butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Stir in lobster and lemon juice; cook just until seafood starts to turn pink. Add chives, zest and cayenne. Off heat, stir in crab and 1 cup cracker crumbs just until combined. Dived the stuffing among two small gratin dishes. Load them up high. You will most likely have some stuffing left over, save this and stuff it into chicken for another meal. Place gratin dishes on a baking sheet. Preheat oven to 400F.

Roast until topping is crisp and stuffing is hot, about 15 minutes. Serve with White Wine Butter Sauce.
