I grew up in New England, a place where summer means it is time for lobster rolls!
I looked forward to this summertime favorite whether we were vacationing down in Cape Cod or getting a lobster roll from Kelly's on Revere Beach. Now that I live out west, it's harder to find a great lobster roll -- but I can make my own! My family's favorite is simple and I think truly the buttered bun is the key. When you bite into that buttery and crunchy roll, the flavor encompasses the succulent lobster ... and YUM!
Here's my favorite recipe:
Lobster Roll
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds cooked lobster meat cut into bite-sized chunks
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 3 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 split-top hot dog rolls
- 4 tablespoons butter
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, add cooked lobster meat.
- In a medium bowl, add mayo, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Once it's mixed together, add to the large bowl of lobster meat.
- Slather on butter on both sides of the roll. In a medium frying pan, over medium heat, toast each side of the roll. Each side should take 10-15 seconds to toast.
- Divide each roll with approximately 1 pound to each roll.
Serves 2
