Ingredients

• 12 ounces Fresh lobster meat
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.25 cup Celery
• 2 tablespoons Chopped chives
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 pieces Butter lettuce leaves
• 2 tablespoons Butter (optional, for a richer flavor)

Directions

Step 1

Start by ensuring your lobster meat is fully cooked. If it's not, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil, and add the lobster tails. Cook for about 8-10 minutes or until the shells are bright red and the lobster meat is opaque.

Step 2

Once the lobster is cooked, remove it from the pot and let it cool. Once cooled, crack open the shells and remove the lobster meat. Cut the lobster meat into bite-sized pieces.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the lobster meat, mayonnaise, celery, chopped chives, and lemon juice. Season with salt and black pepper, then gently toss to combine everything evenly.

Step 4

If you want a richer flavor, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat and stir it into the lobster mixture.

Step 5

Prepare the lettuce leaves by gently washing and drying them with paper towels.

Step 6

Spoon the lobster mixture evenly onto each butter lettuce leaf, folding them slightly like a taco to hold the filling.

Step 7

Serve the lobster rolls immediately, garnished with extra chive if desired. These rolls are perfect as a light lunch or dinner.
