Ingredients
- 2 large lobster tails, cooked
- 1/8 cup chopped celery
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- pinch cayenne pepper
- 4 Tablespoons butter
- 4 hot dog buns or outdoor rolls
- shredded lettuce optional
- lemon wedges optional
Instructions
-
I purchased lobster tails and cooked them on the grill. You can get them pre-cooked or just cook a whole lobster!
-
Once the meat is cooked, chop it into bite sized chunks and put it in a large bowl.
-
Mix in all the ingredients except the butter and rolls. You can add a little more mayo if you like it wetter and a little more (or less) cayenne to suit your tastes. Set the mixture aside.
-
Melt the butter and brush the insides of the rolls with it.
-
Toast them in the oven or on the grill.
-
Fill each roll with 1/4 of the lobster mixture, a little shredded lettuce and serve. A lemon wedge is a good garnish with these rich and delicious rolls.
