Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Bowl
  • Paper towels

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb cooked lobster meat or meat from 2 or 3 medium size lobsters
  • 2-3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 rib celery finely diced, optional
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chives
  • 1 dash hot sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 New England-style split top buns
  • lettuce leaves optional, for serving

Instructions
 

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