Step 1

Pat the langostino dry.  (Make sure the langostino is fully thawed and very well dried, otherwise your lobster salad may be watery.)Mix together the lobster, half the mayonnaise and the chives. Continue adding more mayonnaise until the lobster is lightly coated.In a separate bowl, stir together garlic sauce ingredients, if making, and set aside.

Step 2

Spread the softened butter on both sides of the buns. Sprinkle garlic powder lightly over the buttered bread.Toast in a pan over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until both sides of the buns are golden and warm.

Step 3

Add the lobster salad to the toasted buns, and serve right away with the garlic sauce (if using).
