lobster roll recipe

Simple lobster salad meets buttery, griddled buns in these classic Maine Lobster Rolls. A taste of a New England summer at home!

Maine Lobster Rolls

lobsters

mayonnaise

celery ((optional,

lemon juice ((optional))

sea salt and black pepper

lettuce ((optional, I use Boston))

top-split, flat-sided hotdog buns (("New England" style))

unsalted butter (, softened)

Remove tail, knuckle, and claw meat from the lobsters and cut into 1/2-inch chunks. You should have about 1 pound of lobster meat. Refrigerate until chilled.

Drain lobster meat, discarding any liquid. Gently toss lobster with 3 tablespoons mayonnaise and celery (if using). The lobster should be coated, but not weighed down by the mayonnaise. Add an additional tablespoon of mayonnaise, if needed.

Taste the lobster salad. Some brands of mayo have more tang than others. If the salad needs more brightness, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Season to taste with salt (if needed) and pepper.

Cover the lobster salad and refrigerate for 30 minutes, or up to 6-8 hours.

When ready to serve, preheat a griddle over medium heat. Butter the sides of the hotdog buns and grill 1-2 minutes on each side, until toasted.

Place a leaf of lettuce (if using)&nbsp;into each griddled hotdog bun and mound each with 1/4 of the lobster salad. Serve immediately with french fries, kettle chips, coleslaw, and dill pickles, if desired.

The BEST Lobster Roll recipe has elements of both a Maine and Connecticut Lobster roll, warmed in butter, tossed in a light sauce and served in a toasted bun. This gourmet meal is fresh, delicious, and ready in just 15 minutes!

Lobster Roll

lobster meat (,

celery rib (finely diced, optional)

lemon zest

lemon juice

chives

Hot sauce

salt

black pepper

butter

New England-style split top buns*

lettuce leaves (, optional, for serving)

Drain lobster and pat dry excess moisture off with a paper towel. If needed, cut lobster meat into chunky pieces

Add diced celery, mayo, lemon zest and juice, chives, a dash of hot sauce and a little pinch of kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to a bowl and stir to combine. Set aside.

Add butter to a skillet over medium heat.  Add lobster to pan of melted butter and toss to coat. Cook until just warmed, about 2 minutes (it&#39;s already cooked, so we&#39;re just warming it.). Use a slotted spoon to remove meat (let excess butter drip off into the pan)to the bowl with dressing and toss gently to coat.

Wipe skillet clean and set over medium heat. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter and melt. Dip buns in melted butter on both of the flat sides and toast hot pan until golden on both sides.

Open buns and if desired, place a lettuce leaf inside, and then ¼ of the lobster mixture. Top with a sprinkle of fresh chives. Serve immediately.

Amazing recipe, I tried this for my summer picnic with my partner and it was just perfect! I was a little nervous to make this as it was my first time cooking lobster, so I steamed the tails for 15 minutes. Then also added some extra jalapenos and dried paprika and cayenne powder to the mayo mix. Thank you for this deliciousness! :) Will certainly make again and recommend to others.
