Lobster Roll Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Butter Poach the Lobster

    In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the lobster tails and poach for 8-10 minutes or until the lobster is cooked through. Remove the lobster from the butter and let it cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Lobster Filling

    Once the lobster has cooled, chop it into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, combine the chopped lobster, lemon juice, mayonnaise, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Buns

    Lightly toast the hot dog buns until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Rolls

    Place a layer of romaine lettuce inside each toasted bun. Spoon the lobster mixture generously over the lettuce. If desired, sprinkle with chopped chives.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately while the rolls are warm and the lobster filling is fresh.
