Method

For the Lobster Filling

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lobster Meat

    If using whole lobsters, steam or boil them until they are cooked through. Allow to cool, then remove the meat from the claws and tails, and chop it into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Mix the Filling

    In a bowl, combine the cooked lobster meat, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, finely chopped celery, and chives. Stir gently until all ingredients are well combined.

  3. 3

    Season the Filling

    Add salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting as necessary to enhance the flavor.

For the Assembly

  1. 4

    Prepare the Buns

    Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, place the hot dog buns in the skillet and toast them until golden brown on both sides.

  2. 5

    Assemble the Lobster Rolls

    If desired, place a lettuce leaf in each toasted bun. Generously fill the buns with the lobster mixture.

  3. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Sprinkle paprika over the filled lobster rolls for added flavor and presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy!
