Lobster Roll

Step 1

Drain lobster and pat dry excess moisture off with a paper towel. If needed, cut lobster meat into chunky pieces

Step 2

Add diced celery, mayo, lemon zest and juice, chives, a dash of hot sauce and a little pinch of kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to a bowl and stir to combine. Set aside.

Step 3

Add butter to a skillet over medium heat. Add lobster to pan of melted butter and toss to coat. Cook until just warmed, about 2 minutes (it's already cooked, so we're just warming it.). Use a slotted spoon to remove meat (let excess butter drip off into the pan)to the bowl with dressing and toss gently to coat.

Step 4

Wipe skillet clean and set over medium heat. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter and melt. Dip buns in melted butter on both of the flat sides and toast hot pan until golden on both sides.

Step 5

Open buns and if desired, place a lettuce leaf inside, and then ¼ of the lobster mixture. Top with a sprinkle of fresh chives. Serve immediately.
