Mike's Classic Lobster Rolls

The use of imitation crab meat in this dish is absolutely essential. Between the lobster, butter, sweet rolls, [if opted] mayonnaise and guacamole - this dish needs something to cut the richness. Serve with a thin dill pickle spear and Salt & Vinegar Kettle Chips to negate the richness as well.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Add everything in the, "Lobster Meat Mixture," category except for the lobster in a large bowl and mix well. You will need more mayo than is called for. Tablespoon by tablespoon add more mayonnaise until it reaches the creamy consistency you desire. I usually add 3 additional tablespoons.
- 2
De-thaw your lobster tails in water if frozen. Do not steam/boil/cook frozen.
- 3
Once thawed, cut the underside of your lobster tails lengthwise and remove meat. Rinse lobster meat and discard anything you deem undesirable.
- 4
Fill 1-1/2" of water and 2 tablespoons butter in a pot with a tight fitting lid. Bring to a boil and add lobster meat. Reduce heat to low and simmer/steam lobster meat for 5 to 6 minutes.
- 5
Once cooked, place on plate to cool. Chop lobster meat and add to lobster meat mixture and mix. Place in fridge until fully chilled.
- 6
Carefully tear 4 lengthwise rolls from the other 8. Then another 4 lengthwise rolls from the 8. This will leave you with 3 long sweet sub rolls each consisting of 4 mini rolls. Note: There are also King's Hawaiian Mini Sub Rolls available now that come in packs of 6 and are pre-split. I've used those in the photo below. You can find these rolls in the deli section of your local supermarket.
- 7
Carefully slice lengthwise down the side of your roll [if using the 12 pack] to create an opening for your lobster meat without cutting it completely in half.
- 8
You can use these rolls as they are or butter and sear them in a hot pan. If I sear them, I lightly butter the rolls and lightly sprinkle with garlic powder.
- 9
Smear a layer of guacamole on one side of your roll. Add shredded lettuce and pile on your lobster meat mixture. Sprinkle liberally with Old Bay Seasoning and a pinch of Celery Salt. Also, add a long, thin dill pickle spear at the top of sandwich and serve with Salt & Vinegar Chips to cut some of the richness.
- 10
To reduce the overall carbs, you can use low carb bread and omit the guacamole.

Enjoy!

This is my leftover heirloom recipe. I just made that up. We had those gigantic lobster tails last night for our anniversary dinner. By the way, slept like a baby. Today we had one whole tail left over so guess what? My take on a lobster tail is more is more. It doesn’t need much. As little as necessary to keep it together and tasting fresh. I hope you enjoy it! #heirloom SherryRandall: The Leftover Chronicles -
Warm Buttered Lobster Rolls Warm Buttered Lobster Rolls
Growing up in New England meant lobster rolls were avalable all over. There were two choices at the lobster houses, the traditional mayonnaise based cold salad and or a very simple warmed in butter lobster roll. Both are delicious. Here is the butter warmed version, juicy chunks of lobster basted with lightly seasoned butter and piled warm in a toasted bun. Pure sweet lobster flavor! fenway -
