Ingredients
- 2 gallons salted water
- 4 live lobsters
- 2 cups prepared mayonnaise
- 1cup finely diced celery
- 1cup finely diced onion
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Clarified butter, for brushing rolls
- 4 top-split hot dog buns
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
- In a large pot, bring the water to a boil. Add the lobsters. Bring the water back to a rolling boil and start a timer for 8 minutes. When the timer sounds remove the cooked lobsters and put them into an ice bath to stop the cooking process. When cooled, remove all the lobster meat and cut into 1/2-inch dice. Refrigerate cooked lobster until you are ready to assemble the sandwiches.
- For the dressing:
- Mix the mayonnaise, celery, onion, paprika, salt, lemon juice and pepper in a mixing bowl. Add the lobster pieces, stirring to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Final assembly:
- Using clarified butter, brush both sides the hot dog buns and toast in a hot saute pan or on a griddle until golden brown. While still warm, divide the lobster roll filling evenly among buns. Serve with fresh lemon wedges and favorite side dish.
Reviews
It’s not a Main lobster roll, it’s a Maine Lobster Roll. But taste great with either spelling.
Very good, I didn’t need to use the whole 2 cups of mayonaise though. I’m glad I waited to put it in last otherwise if would’ve been way too creamy. Besides that, this is an amazing recipe, everyone loved it!
After 4 months in the hospital in Denver I was ready for some real food. I saw Guy host this lobster roll at Steuben’s in Denver. Steuben’s was one of the first places I ate after 4 months of hospital food. It was everything Guy said it was. Awesome.
Note: I was pleased to met Brandon and also my parents used to go out on dinner/dancing dates at the original Seubens in Boston, Mass. owned by Brandon’s uncle. When I go to Denver for check-ups, I always stop and have the lobster roll. Try their corn also.
