Ingredients

For the Lobster Roll

  • 1 tablespoon butter, softened
  • 4 hot dog buns or kaiser rolls, split
  • 4 lettuce leaves

For the Lobster Mixture

  • 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 rib celery, finely chopped
  • 1 ½ pounds cooked and cubed lobster meat
  • 1 pinch dried basil, parsley, or tarragon

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Collect all ingredients to ensure everything is ready for assembling the lobster rolls.
  2. Prepare Buns: Lightly butter the insides of the hot dog buns or kaiser rolls, then line each with a fresh lettuce leaf. Set aside to keep the buns moist and add a crisp texture.
  3. Make Dressing: In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, fresh lime juice, hot pepper sauce, salt, and pepper until well blended to create a creamy and tangy base.
  4. Add Vegetables: Mix chopped green onions and finely chopped celery into the dressing, adding crunch and fresh flavor to the lobster mixture.
  5. Combine Lobster: Gently fold the cooked and cubed lobster meat into the dressing mixture, ensuring the lobster is just coated without breaking up the pieces.
  6. Assemble Rolls: Spoon the lobster mixture evenly into the prepared buttery buns lined with lettuce.
  7. Garnish: Sprinkle each roll with a pinch of dried basil, parsley, or tarragon to enhance aroma and add a subtle herbal note.
  8. Serve: Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh, flavorful lobster rolls.

Notes

  • This recipe uses cooked lobster meat; be sure to use fresh, high-quality lobster for the best flavor.
  • Adjust hot pepper sauce quantity to your preferred spice level or omit if you prefer milder flavors.
  • Butter the buns lightly to avoid sogginess while adding richness.
  • Lettuce helps keep the bun from becoming soggy and adds a refreshing crunch.
  • For an extra touch, chill the lobster mixture before stuffing the buns.
  • Substitute fresh herbs if available instead of dried for an even fresher taste.
