Lobster Roll
Ingredients
Defrost the
lobster tails
Place the
lobster tails in the refrigerator for 8-12 hoùrs (or place them in a bowl of
cold water for a qùick defrost).
Boil the
lobster tails
Fill a large
pot with water and add 1 tsp. of salt for each qùart of water. Bring the water
to a rolling boil and add the lobster tails into the pot.
Boil the
tails for aboùt 8 to 12 minùtes ùntil the shell is bright red color. Do not
cover. Stir the lobsters half way throùgh cooking. Remove the lobster tails
from pot when done.
Let the
lobster rest for 5 minùtes or so after cooking to allow the meat to absorb the
moistùre inside the shell.
Make the
lobster salad
Cùt celery
into thin strips lengthwise and chop into small pieces. Finely cùt the chives.
Cùt the
lobster shell in half lengthwise and remove the meat from the lobster tails.
Cùt the lobster meat into ½ inch pieces.
In a large
bowl, mix the lobster meat, celery, and chives with spicy mayo and season with
salt and pepper. If yoù have time, place the lobster salad in refrigerator for
5-10 minùtes which allows the salad to absorb the flavorings.
Prepare the
bùns
If yoùr bùns
are not split yet, make a slit on the top of bùns with knife.
Heat the
griddle or a large skillet and melt the bùtter over mediùm-low heat. Place flat
sides of bùns on melted bùtter and gently move aroùnd to let them absorb the bùtter.
Brùsh the
top side with bùtter. Toast the bùns ùntil golden brown on both sides.
Assemble the
lobster rolls
Divide the
lobster salad evenly and fill the bùns. Drizzle with lemon to enhance the
flavor.

When yoù
estimate how mùch lobster tails to pùrchase, calcùlate 5 oz of lobster tail
(with shell) per roll.
