Reviews
Personally, I didn’t think there was too much sauce. I think it complimented the lobster well. I am not a mayo fan, so I loved the use of mascarpone and EVOO in place of mayo. LOVE tarragon with seafood, and I thought all these flavors were quite lovely.
used 1/4 the amount of dressing. Wanted to taste the lobster- otherwise the amount of dressing would be too much. Couldn’t find foccacia brad- used ciabatta – split it and toasted it- recipe- excellant
We have made this recipe several times for family and friends and find it absolutely delicious! You do not need to use all of the dressing with your lobster if you want a more subtle flavor. The dressing, alone, is great on it’s own and is wonderful with pita chips!
Way too much dressing for the lobster. The tarragon was too overpowering. Just toss your lobster with some chopped celery and a light coating of mayo. That’s all it needs.
These lobster rolls had lots of really great flavor. I wish, though that the lobster shined more in this recipe; while the sauce was really great, it sort of overpowered the delicate flavor of the lobster. Might try with shrimp next time as another viewer suggested.
so easy and a deliteful taste. myguests enjoyed it
We love the dressing. It’s great for Shrimp rolls too.
