Lobster Casserole with Ritz Cracker Topping

Lobster pie has long been a popular way to serve our favorite crustacean. This one, which we’re calling a lobster casserole with Ritz cracker topping, is a classic, loaded as it is with butter and high-quality sherry to bring out the meat’s natural sweetness. The buttery cracker topping gives it a pleasant crunch.
