Servings: 4 langostino lobster rolls
Calories: 389kcal
Ingredients
- 1 pound langostino lobster*, thawed (if frozen), well-drained, patted dry
- ¼ cup (58 g) mayonnaise
- 1 rib celery, finely diced (about ¼ cup)
- 1 tablespoon minced chives, plus more for garnish
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 split-top brioche New England-style hot dog buns, sides trimmed off
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
Instructions
- Drain the langostino lobster and pat dry with paper towels.
- In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, celery, chives, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth.
- Gently fold in the langostino lobster until evenly coated. Chill until ready to serve, if desired, to allow flavors to develop.
- When ready, in a skillet over medium heat, melt half of the butter. Place the buns cut side down and toast until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes. Add more butter as needed for the remaining buns.
- Fill each toasted bun generously with the langostino mixture. Garnish with extra chives and a sprinkle of lemon zest, if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
*I used langostinos for these rolls. They’re small, sweet, and tender shellfish that taste a lot like lobster; perfect if you want that classic lobster flavor without using big lobster tails!
