How to Make Imitation Lobster Thermidor

  1. Preheat your broiler.
  2. In a medium saucepan, gently heat 1 cup of cream of mushroom soup over low heat, stirring frequently until warmed through.
  3. Add 1/2 cup of cooked imitation lobster meat, 1/4 cup of chopped green onions, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of butter, and 1/2 teaspoon of Old Bay seasoning. Stir until heated through and well combined.
  4. Spoon the mixture evenly into four lightly greased 6-ounce ramekins or scallop shells.
  5. Sprinkle each ramekin generously with grated Parmesan cheese (about 1 tablespoon per ramekin) and an additional pinch of Old Bay seasoning.
  6. Broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture is hot and bubbly, and the cheese is golden brown. Watch carefully to prevent burning. Keep a close eye on it, it broils fast!
