Lobster rolls have a creamy filling spooned into a soft bun.
Ingredients :
12 ounces lobster meat or 2 medium lobster tails, about 6 ounces each, see note
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 rib celery finely diced
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
⅛ teaspoon salt
3 dashes hot sauce or to taste
4 hot dog buns top cut, see note
3 tablespoons butter
8 leaves butterleaf lettuce or bibb lettuce
Directions :
Dab the lobster meat dry with a paper towel if needed and cut into ½-inch pieces.
In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, celery, lemon juice, salt, and hot sauce. Add the chopped lobster and gently toss to combine.
To prepare the buns, cut a slice off each side of the bun and brush with butter.
Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Place the bun in the skillet, butter side down, and cook for 2 minutes or until golden brown. Flip and repeat on the other side.
Place the lettuce inside each bun and top with the lobster mixture.
