Simple Lobster Rolls - Migonis Home

Here is the story of how we went from this:

As I mentioned yesterday I purchased some lobsters for our anniversary with the hopes of making lobster rolls for the first time… they turned out beautifully! Here is a simple, and delicious, way to make your own:
First, get these ingredients:
1 tbs butter softened4 buns or rolls, splitlettuce1 1/2 cooked and cubed lobster meat2 tbs mayo1 tsp lime juice1 dash of Tabasco2 green onions (scallions), chopped1 stalk celery, finely choppedsalt and pepper to taste1 pinch of basil, tarragon or tarragon

1. Get your grocery store to cook your lobsters for you. Ours does it free of charge. This will save you the hassle of wondering if you are cooking them too much or too little.

The following text is taken directly from the original recipe here.

2. Lightly butter the insides of the buns or rolls and line with lettuce leaves. Set aside.

3. In a medium bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, lime juice, hot pepper sauce, salt and pepper until well blended. Mix in the green onion and celery, then lightly mix in the lobster so it just gets coated without falling apart

4. Stuff the lobster filling into the buns and sprinkle parsley, basil or tarragon lightly over the filling. (We didn’t sprinkle the spices and loved it regardless!)

Jen — 1-1/2 lobsters? 1-1/2 cups? We were recently in Maine and a sweet little shop we visited (quilting store in front – little cafe in back) used 1/4 pound of lobster meat per roll — does that seem about the same as yours? Thank you! Joanna

  I should change the way the recipe is written, Joanna. We used all the meat from two lobsters that were about a pound and 1/4 each and that was perfect! 🙂

Thank you! We want to make these for dinner soon! I like that your recipe is simple, just like what we had in ME.
