Recipe of the Week

Makes 4 Servings

Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh lobster tail, knuckle, and claw meat
  • 4 New England–style split-top hot dog rolls
  • 1 stick salted butter, softened
  • Mayonnaise (preferably Hellman’s)

Directions

Break the lobster meat into large chunks, splitting the tails in half but leaving smaller claws whole. Set aside. Heat a pan or griddle to medium heat. Spread a thin, even layer of the softened butter onto each side of the hot dog rolls. Place rolls in pan and toast on each side until golden. Swipe a thin layer of mayonnaise inside each roll and fill with lobster meat, making sure each roll gets an even amount of tail, claw, and knuckle meat. If desired, melt remaining butter and drizzle over the top. Best enjoyed outdoors, on the ocean, with a few lobster boats in sight!
