Directions
-
The classic Maine lobster roll recipe traditionally uses chilled lobster meat with only enough mayonnaise added to moisten the meat and add a small amount of flavoring. In this recipe, the addition of ingredients like celery and lemon juice bring a nice texture as well as flavor to the classic. When preparing lobster roll recipes, use live Maine or other live, cold-water lobster. If needed, frozen lobster tails can be substituted. Typically, a Maine lobster roll calls for frankfurter buns. However, any split top roll, medium size hamburger roll, or bread of your choice, may be used.
-
Steam or boil the lobster ahead of time and remove the meat from the shell (claws, knuckles and tail). Cut the meat into bite size pieces and chill.
-
Once the lobster is chilled, combine it with the celery, green onions and parsley. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Tabasco and pepper. Pour the sauce over the lobster and gently fold to mix.
-
Lightly butter the outside of the rolls and grill them in a skillet until golden brown. Place lobster salad meat inside the grilled roll and serve.
-
Serve with potato chips
