Ingredients
Scale
Lobster Meat
- 2 cups freshly cooked lobster meat, chopped
Butter
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
Mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
Celery
- 1/4 cup chopped celery
Lemon Juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Hot Dog Buns
- 12 mini hot dog buns
Instructions
- Prepare the Lobster: Begin by cooking your lobster. If using live lobster, boil it until fully cooked, then remove the meat and chop it into bite-sized pieces. If using pre-cooked lobster, simply chop it into pieces and set aside.
- Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped lobster meat, mayonnaise, butter, chopped celery, and lemon juice. Stir gently until all ingredients are well incorporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Toast the Buns: Lightly butter the outside of each mini hot dog bun. In a skillet over medium heat, toast the buns until golden brown and crispy, which adds a delightful texture to the rolls.
- Assemble the Rolls: Carefully spoon the lobster mixture into the toasted buns. Be generous with the filling to ensure each bite is packed with flavor.
- Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the Mini Lobster Rolls on a platter and serve immediately. Enjoy the delightful flavors and textures with your friends and family!
Notes
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Always opt for fresh lobster and ingredients for the best flavor.
- Chill the Filling: For enhanced flavor, let the lobster mixture chill in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving.
- Don’t Overmix: Gently mix the ingredients to avoid breaking down the lobster too much.
- Experiment with Toppings: Add toppings like capers or pickles for extra flavor and crunch.
- Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, as fresh lobster can vary in sweetness.
