Sometimes you just want to have something tasty, refreshing and simple to make. These delicious Lobster Rolls are exactly everything you could ever want! You don’t have to wait until summer to enjoy these tasty sandwiches – pick up some frozen lobster tails in the seafood department and they will taste perfect!
I would definitely recommend investing in a good Dutch Oven for this recipe and other similar recipes. I couldn’t survive without my Dutch Oven! They make cooking so easy and convenient. The benefit to having a Dutch Oven is being able to do multiple functions like saute, steam, stew, boil and so on.
Ingredients
- 2 (7 oz.) Lobster Tails
- 4 Hoagie Rolls
- ½ Cup Mayonnaise
- ½ Cup Celery
- 1 Garlic Clove
- 1 tbsp Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice
- 4 tbsp Melted Butter
- ½ tsp Onion Powder
- Salt & Pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat oven at 250 degrees F.
2. Fill a medium pot about 2/3 of the way with water and bring to boil. Add lobster tails to boiling water. The shells will begin to turn red almost immediately however you will need to boil for approximately 8-10 minutes. The lobster tails will become slightly curled. Using a pair of tongs remove the lobster tails from water and set aside to cool.
3. Dice the celery and garlic into small pieces. Slice the lemon in half and squeeze the juice of 1/2 the lemon into a small bowl and set aside.
4. Using scissors, cut down the center of each shell. With your fingers, pull the shell away until it breaks away from the meat. Do this until the shell is completely removed from the meat. Discard shell. Chop the lobster into small pieces.
5. Add 3 tbsp butter to small microwavable bowl. Microwave for 1 minute or until butter is melted.
6. Toss chopped lobster in butter. Add onion powder, chopped garlic, lemon juice, chopped celery and mayonnaise to bowl. Stir well with spoon. Add salt and pepper to taste.
7. Toast 4 buns in the oven at 250 degrees for about 3-4 minutes. Remove from oven.
8. Add lobster mixture to each bun.
9. Heat 1 tbsp. butter in small microwavable bowl. Take an unused paintbrush and brush the melted butter onto each bun. Not only will this increase its flavor value, but it will glisten!
