When you’re ready to enjoy a crazy easy, sinful indulgence try out these scrumptious Lobster Jalapeno Poppers! Yum doesn’t begin to cover it, they’re just so creamy and delicious!
Creamy and delicious and loaded with soft chunks of lobster meat, yumm!!
The tender pieces of lobster meat, crunchy bacon, and soft cream cheese are then topped with a pinch of fresh lemon zest and fresh Parmesan cheese. So many great flavors packed into the ultimate appetizer!!
Even if you aren’t necessarily a fan of commercially available poppers (like me!) you may just find a new appreciation for poppers with this version. I totally expected to be on the fence with these tangy treats, but was pleasantly surprised by the taste and texture.
I mean, I know I love fresh lobster! But I only usually like jalapeno in small doses, which was not the case once I tried these lobster poppers.
So get your hands on some lobster and fire up the oven (or grill!) and try out your new favorite appetizer!
Enjoy!
