LOBSTER ROLLS WITH GARLIC BUTTER BUNS

yield: 4 SERVINGS

prep time: 15 MIN

cook time: 5 MIN

INGREDIENTS:

4 cups cooked lobster meat, roughly chopped 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice ¼ cup chopped celery ¼ cup chopped scallions ½ teaspoon salt 4 Tablespoons (½ stick) unsalted butter 3 garlic cloves, minced 4 split-top buns (See Kelly's Notes)

DIRECTIONS:

In a small bowl, combine the cooked lobster, lemon juice, celery, scallions, salt and a few grinds of fresh black pepper, tossing until well combined. Set aside. Melt the butter and minced garlic in a small saucepan over low heat. Brush the exteriors of the buns with the garlic butter and toast in a saucepan over medium-low heat on both sides until golden brown. (See Kelly's Notes.) Divide the lobster mixture into the toasted buns and serve immediately.

Kelly's Notes: Split-top buns may be hard to find, so regular hot dog buns will do in a pinch. I found both regular and whole wheat split-top buns at my local Trader Joe's. You can also grill the buns over a low flame to add a smoky char.
