Instructions

Cook the Lobster: If using live lobster, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the lobster for about 8-12 minutes until the shell turns bright red and the meat is opaque.
Cool and Chop: Remove the lobster from the pot and cool it under running water. Once cooled, crack the shell and remove the meat. Chop into bite-sized pieces.
Make the Dressing: In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste.
Mix Lobster and Dressing: Gently fold the chopped lobster into the dressing, ensuring it’s evenly coated without breaking the lobster too much.
Prepare the Buns: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Toast the hot dog buns lightly until golden brown on both sides.
Assemble the Rolls: Place a few lettuce leaves (if using) inside each bun. Scoop a generous amount of the lobster mixture on top.
Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with chopped chives if desired. Serve immediately while still warm.

Notes

For spicy lobster rolls, add a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the dressing.

Add sliced avocado to the rolls for a creamy, fresh twist.

For extra flavor, lightly grill the lobster meat before mixing it with the dressing.
