Ingredients

  • 1 pound Lobster meat
  • 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1 stalk Celery
  • 2 tablespoons Chives
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
  • 0.25 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 4 Hot dog buns
  • 2 tablespoons Butter
  • 4 Lettuce leaves

Directions

Step 1

Begin by prepping the lobster meat. If using whole lobsters, cook them according to your preferred method, let them cool, then extract the meat. Cut the lobster meat into bite-sized pieces and place them in a medium-sized mixing bowl.

Step 2

Finely chop the celery stalk and chives. Add the chopped celery and chives to the bowl with the lobster meat.

Step 3

In a small separate bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Step 4

Pour the dressing over the lobster mixture and gently stir until the lobster meat is evenly coated. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired.

Step 5

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 6

While the lobster mixture is chilling, prepare the buns. Heat a frying pan over medium heat and spread a thin layer of butter on the sides of each hot dog bun. Grill the buns in the pan until they are golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Step 7

Once the buns are toasted, line each with a lettuce leaf and fill them generously with the chilled lobster mixture.

Step 8

Serve the lobster rolls immediately with your choice of sides, such as chips or a crisp green salad.
