Ingredients of Classic Lobster Roll
1 lb fresh lobster meat, cooked and chopped
4 top-split hot dog buns
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons melted butter
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh chives or parsley, chopped (optional)
Lettuce leaves (optional)
Instructions for making Classic Lobster Roll:
Prepare the Lobster Meat: Start by chopping the cooked lobster meat into bite-sized pieces. Place it in a large mixing bowl.
Mix the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Combine Lobster with Dressing: Gently fold the dressing into the lobster meat, making sure each piece is evenly coated. You can add more or less mayonnaise, depending on your desired creaminess.
Prepare the Buns: Lightly brush the outside of each hot dog bun with melted butter. Toast the buns in a skillet over medium heat until they’re golden brown on both sides.
Assemble the Lobster Rolls: If using, place a lettuce leaf inside each bun to add a bit of crunch. Fill each bun generously with the lobster mixture.
Garnish and Serve: For an extra touch of flavor, sprinkle some fresh chives or parsley over the top. Serve the lobster rolls immediately with a side of chips, pickles, or a light salad.
Tips:
Freshness is Key: The quality of the lobster meat makes all the difference in this dish. If possible, use fresh lobster for the best flavor.
Customize Your Roll: Some like to add a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of Old Bay seasoning to the lobster mixture for an added kick.
Serving Suggestion: Pair your lobster roll with a cold glass of lemonade or a crisp white wine for a perfect summer meal.
Enjoy your Classic Lobster Roll! This recipe is a delightful mix of simplicity and luxury, perfect for any seafood lover.
