Recipe Ingredients :
- 1 tablespoon butter, softened
- 4 hot dog buns or kaiser rolls, split
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
- 1 dash hot pepper sauce (e.g. Tabasco)
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
- 1 ½ pounds cooked and cubed lobster meat
- 1 pinch dried basil, parsley or tarragon
How To Make Lobster Roll?
- Prepare the buns and lettuce: Lightly butter the inside of each bun, then line each with a lettuce leaf. Set aside.
- Make the dressing: In a medium bowl, stir together mayonnaise, lime juice, hot pepper sauce, salt, and pepper until smooth. Add in green onions and celery.
- Combine with lobster: Gently fold the cooked lobster into the dressing, making sure all pieces are evenly coated.
- Assemble the rolls: Spoon the lobster mixture into each prepared bun. Sprinkle with basil, parsley, or tarragon.
- Serve and enjoy!
Recipe Tips :
- Use Fresh Lobster: Freshly cooked lobster meat makes all the difference in flavor and texture. If possible, avoid pre-cooked or canned lobster for the best results.
- Butter the Buns Lightly: A thin layer of softened butter adds richness without overpowering the lobster. Toast the buns until just golden for an extra bit of crunch.
- Chill the Filling: For a refreshing contrast, chill the lobster mixture before assembling the rolls. This keeps each bite cool and satisfying.
- Don’t Overmix: Gently fold in the lobster with the dressing to keep the chunks intact. Overmixing can make the meat mushy and lose its delicate texture.
- Add Herbs Right Before Serving: Sprinkle basil, parsley, or tarragon on top just before serving to keep the herbs vibrant and fresh-tasting.
How To Store Leftovers?
First, let the leftover lobster roll filling cool to room temperature. Transfer it into an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Assemble fresh buns only when ready to serve to keep the bread from getting soggy.
