Description
Indulge in the taste of summer with these Creamy Garlic Butter Lobster Rolls, packed with flavor and easy to prepare.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large lobster tails (about 1 pound total)
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, divided
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 4 soft, buttery rolls (like New England style)
- Leafy lettuce or cabbage for serving
Instructions
- Start by preparing your lobster tails. Using a sharp pair of kitchen scissors, cut along the top of the shell, from the base to the tip.
- Gently pull the meat out of the shell and set it aside.
- In a large skillet, melt about 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Once foamy, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, around 1 minute.
- Add the lobster meat to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, tossing it gently to coat it with the garlic butter.
- Pour in the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until the lobster is just opaque and tender; this should only take a few minutes.
- Lower the heat and stir in the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and chopped parsley. Mix until all ingredients are combined and heated through, about 2 minutes more.
- While your lobster mixture cools slightly, melt the remaining butter in a separate pan. Gently toast your rolls in the melted butter until golden brown.
- To assemble, place a layer of leafy lettuce or cabbage at the bottom of each toasted roll, followed by a generous scoop of the creamy lobster mixture.
- Serve immediately while the rolls and lobster are warm.
Notes
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes. For a lighter version, consider Greek yogurt instead of mayo.
