Summertime in a sandwich: That’s what a lobster roll feels like for me. For ease, I sometimes use lobster tails instead of whole lobsters. They’re easier to shell. I’ve also found frozen cooked lobster in the shell as a more affordable option.

| Yield: | 8 servings |
Ingredients
- 1 stick (8 tablespoons) salted butter
- 2 green onions, trimmed
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice plus lemon wedges, for serving
- 1 1/2 pounds cooked lobster meat (from three 2-pound lobsters), coarsely chopped
- 1/3 cup minced celery
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Butter lettuce leaves, for sandwiches
- 8 mini brioche rolls, buttered and toasted
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Remove the milk solids that float to the top, leaving the clear melted butter on the bottom in the saucepan. Set aside.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the whole green onions and cook, turning occasionally, until lightly charred, about 2 minutes. Remove the green onions from the skillet and chop. Combine the green onions, mayonnaise and lemon juice in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Add 2 tablespoons of the melted butter to the skillet. Add the lobster and cook until warmed through. Transfer the lobster to a medium bowl. Add the celery and mayonnaise to the lobster and toss until combined. Add the remaining butter to the lobster and toss. Season with salt and pepper.
- To serve, divide the lobster mixture and lettuce evenly among the rolls. Serve with lemon wedges.

I wanted something different and light for dinner tonight. These did not disappoint. I could not find frozen lobster so I used 5 lobster tails. Pricey dinner, yes; but did we enjoy it, yes. It’s even good over crackers.
Made these tonight and they were amazing! I had to use frozen lobster tails so I can’t imagine how much better they’d be with fresh lobster.
Too much mayo for a lobster roll
