Servings 4 lobster rolls

Ingredients

  • 1 lb of lobster meat either raw or cooked
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 1/3 cup chopped chives
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 4 hot dog-style buns I used brioche split-top buns, toasted

Instructions

PREP INSTRUCTIONS

  • Chop the chives and set aside.
  • Slice and toast your buns, then set aside.

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • When butter is almost melted, reduce heat to low and stir in the lemon juice, salt, pepper, and chopped chives until combined.
  • Add the lobster meat to the skillet, along any juices that may have accumulated with the (raw or cooked) lobster meat:
    --If you’re using RAW lobster meat: cook the raw lobster meat in the butter sauce over low heat, stirring occasionally, until lobster is firm and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes.
    --If you’re using COOKED lobster meat: stir the cooked lobster meat in the butter sauce over medium-low heat until warmed through, 2-3 minutes.
  • Taste a piece of lobster and add more salt and pepper if desired, to taste. Then remove skillet from heat.
  • Heap the cooked, buttered lobster meat into the toasted buns. Lemon Butter Lobster Rolls are best when warm, but you could also eat leftovers cold (if you have any!).
