Lobster Roll Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lobster

    In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the lobster for about 8-10 minutes until fully cooked. Remove from the pot, let cool, and then remove the meat from the shell, chopping it into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Make the Lobster Salad

    In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped lobster meat, mayonnaise, lemon juice, chopped celery, salt, black pepper, and chives. Mix gently until well combined.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Butter Sauce

    In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat until it is completely melted and slightly bubbling. Do not let it brown.

  4. 4

    Toast the Buns

    In a separate skillet, lightly toast the hot dog buns in a little bit of the melted butter until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Rolls

    Fill each toasted bun with a generous portion of the lobster salad. Drizzle with warm melted butter before serving.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately with extra butter on the side if desired.
