Description
Delicious grilled lobster rolls perfect for summer gatherings, combining succulent lobster with buttery, toasted brioche buns.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lobsters (live or pre-steamed)
- ¼ cup garlic (finely diced)
- 6 brioche hot dog buns
- 1 stick butter (salted)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Parsley (chopped, for serving)
- Lemon juice (for serving)
Instructions
- Begin by filling a large pot with water, setting it to boil vigorously.
- Carefully add the lobsters to the boiling water, ensuring they are submerged. Cover the pot with a lid.
- Boil the lobsters for 11-12 minutes, keeping an eye on the internal temperature to reach 135°F.
- Once cooked, remove the lobsters from the pot and place them on a cutting board to cool.
- After they are cool enough to handle, extract the lobster meat and chop it into bite-sized pieces.
- Pre-heat half of a griddle or skillet to low, while setting the other half to medium-high.
- Butter the brioche buns and toast them on the low side of the griddle.
- Set a cast iron skillet on the medium-high side of the griddle and melt the remaining butter.
- Add the diced garlic and sauté for about 7 minutes until fragrant.
- Toss the chopped lobster into the skillet and combine, ensuring it’s heated through.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
- Grab a toasted brioche bun and fill it with the heated lobster mix.
- Garnish each roll with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice for that final zing.
Notes
For a lighter option, consider using less butter and a squeeze of olive oil instead. Pair with a light salad or sweet potato fries.
