Can I use cooked lobster (or a different kind of shellfish)?

Yes and yes! I will sometimes ask the supermarket to steam the lobster for me while I am doing the rest of my shopping so all I need to do is shell it and chop it up. There's also a brand of cooked frozen lobster called Cozy Harbor that is pretty much a full cooked chopped lobster. Just warm the cooked lobster in the bacon drippings. And if lobster is too spendy, peeled shrimp will work just fine!

Can this be made ahead of time?

Yep, although I would put the lettuce and bread crumbs in at the last minute so things stay as crispy as possible.

Have a question that I didn't cover?

Pop it in the comments and I promise to answer pronto!
