Mini Lobster Roll Recipe

4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted.

Mini lobster roll recipe.

1 pounds cooked lobster meat diced. Even though both celery and dill pickles provide that added crunch that pairs with the lobster so perfectly the bite from the dill pickle really takes these rolls to the next level. Arrange bread rounds on rimmed baking sheet and broil until butter starts to brown rotating sheet for even browning about 2 minutes. Use tongs to remove the lobster from the water and place in the ice bath to stop the cooking.

This is a wonderful summer or winter treat and makes a fancy. One thing that gives these mini lobster rolls an elevated flavor is swapping out the celery for finely diced dill pickles. I grew up in nova scotia where seafood was cheap. When the lobster is cool enough to handle break apart the tail and claws and remove the meat.

Spread some garlic butter on each bread round. 3 celery stalks diced. My mom and grandmothers had some pretty inventive ways of making lobster not boring now lobster is a treat and costs a fortune. Using a paring knife cut a 1 1 2 inch round plug out of the top of each roll leaving a 1 2 inch border all around.

Used 12 whole wheat hawaiian rolls instead of 24 and doubled the recipe so essentially quadrupled the amount of filling per roll. 1 bunch scallions sliced. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Prepare an ice bath while the lobster cooks.

Mix together with a rubber spatula until everything is incorporated. 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill. Add the lobster to the pot and boil until bright red about 7 to 10 minutes. I ve paid over ten dollars for one of these lobster rolls in cape cod and it wasn t half as good or half as big as the ones my mom taught me to make.

Also omitted the shrimp and used all lobster. 16 mini brioche hot dog buns or rolls.
