Connecticut Style Lobster Roll

Method

Directions

1. 1
   Pre-cook lobsters. To do so, thaw lobster tails and prepare using your method of choice — sauteing, boiling, steaming, raising, broiling or grilling! For this recipe, we prefer to steam the lobster, slightly undercooking it so it can continue to cook in the butter mixture.
2. 2
   In a medium skillet, melt 6 tbsp butter. Add garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice and salt. Mix well and keep warm on low heat.
3. 3
   Melt remaining butter in a cast iron skillet. Grill sides of buns until golden brown. Remove and set aside on serving plates.
4. 4
   Remove meat from lobsters and chop into bite-sized pieces.
5. 5
   Transfer meat to butter mixture. Toss to ensure all is coated in butter and lemon zest.
6. 6
   Divide lobster between rolls and drizzle excess butter mixture on top. Sprinkle with scallions for garnish.
7. 7
   Serve immediately while warm and enjoy!
