Treat your ingredients with care...
- Lobster — Ensure the lobster tails are fresh and of high quality. If live lobsters are used, they should be cooked in boiling water for about 8-10 minutes until the shells turn bright red. Let them cool before removing the meat.
Tips & Tricks
- For added freshness, squeeze a little extra lemon juice over the lobster meat before tossing it with the dressing.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the dressing.
- To make the Lobster Roll more indulgent, consider adding a slice of crispy bacon or avocado slices as a topping.
- If lobster tails are not available, you can use cooked lobster meat from a reputable seafood market.
- For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise in the dressing.
Serving advice
Serve the Lobster Rolls with a side of crispy French fries or a refreshing coleslaw. Garnish with a lemon wedge for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
Presentation advice
Arrange the Lobster Rolls on a platter, ensuring the filling is generously overflowing from the buns. Sprinkle some additional chopped chives on top for an elegant touch.
