Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Lobster meat
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 stalk Celery
- 2 tablespoons Chives
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 Hot dog buns
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 4 Lettuce leaves
Instructions
Begin by prepping the lobster meat. If using whole lobsters, cook them according to your preferred method, let them cool, then extract the meat. Cut the lobster meat into bite-sized pieces and place them in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Finely chop the celery stalk and chives. Add the chopped celery and chives to the bowl with the lobster meat.
In a small separate bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the lobster mixture and gently stir until the lobster meat is evenly coated. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
While the lobster mixture is chilling, prepare the buns. Heat a frying pan over medium heat and spread a thin layer of butter on the sides of each hot dog bun. Grill the buns in the pan until they are golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Once the buns are toasted, line each with a lettuce leaf and fill them generously with the chilled lobster mixture.
Serve the lobster rolls immediately with your choice of sides, such as chips or a crisp green salad.
