Lobster Rolls

Name: Lobster Rolls
Ingredients: 2-4 tbs Mayo; 1 tsp capers; 1/2 stalk Celery, thinly sliced; 1 tbs Lemon juice; 4 tbs Butter, melted; 1 tsp Kosher salt; 4 4oz Lobster tails; 2 brioche hotdog buns, uncut

Lobsta! Lobsta! Lobsta!

Lobster rolls are as easy as it gets. The only intimidating part is getting the meat out of tail, and its not that intimidating. I use scissors to cut along the shell and crack it open from there. YMMV.

We don’t get the traditional split top buns here in southern california, so i improvise. If you do in your area, use em!

Serves 2.
