Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh lobster meat
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 cup celery, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
- 8 large leaves romaine lettuce leaves
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
- 4 small sprigs dill sprigs for garnish
Instructions
Begin by boiling a large pot of water. Once boiling, add in the lobster and cook for about 8 minutes or until the lobsters are bright red and cooked through.
Remove the lobster from the water and let it cool for a few minutes. Once cooled, extract the meat from the claws, tail, and knuckles. Cut the lobster meat into bite-sized pieces.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add in the celery and sauté for about 2 minutes or until tender.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked lobster meat, sautéed celery, mayonnaise, lemon juice, chives, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix gently until the ingredients are well combined.
Take one large romaine lettuce leaf and lay it on a clean surface. Spoon about 1/4 of the lobster mixture into the center of the leaf. Fold the sides of the lettuce over the lobster mixture to enclose it like a wrap.
Repeat the process with the remaining lobster mixture and lettuce leaves.
Garnish each roll with a sprig of dill and a light sprinkle of paprika for extra flavor and a pop of color.
Serve the keto lobster rolls immediately and enjoy!
