Prep Time

Cook Time

The cook time for this recipe is around 10 minutes.

Ingredients

For the lobster roll:
  • 4 small lobster tails (or 2 large ones)
  • 4 hot dog buns
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • Lemon wedges
For the dressing:
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Large pot for boiling lobsters
  • Bowl of ice water
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Medium bowl for dressing
  • Small saucepan or skillet for toasting buns

Method

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lobster tails and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the shells turn bright red. 2. Remove the lobsters from the pot and immediately plunge them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. 3. Once the lobsters have cooled, remove the meat from the shells and chop into small chunks. 4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, dijon mustard, chives, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. 5. Add the chopped lobster meat to the bowl and toss to coat with the dressing. 6. Melt the butter in a small saucepan or skillet over medium heat. Toast the hot dog buns in the butter until golden brown. 7. Divide the lobster mixture among the four buns and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

For an extra kick of flavor, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few drops of hot sauce to the dressing. If you don't have access to fresh lobster, you can use frozen lobster tails. Just make sure to thaw them in the fridge overnight before cooking.
