Sarasotas Seafood Aka Lobster Rolls Recipes

LOBSTER ROLL

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, gently combine the chopped lobster meat (except the claw meat that's been set aside) with the mayonnaise, lemon juice, celery, salt and pepper.
• Put the mixing bowl into the fridge to chill for about 10 minutes.To assemble the Lobster Rolls:
• Toast the buns and butter them if desired.
• Into each bun, place some lettuce leaves. I like to make a little boat shape with the leaves when I place them into the buns, so that the lobster meat filling stays inside better.
• On top of the lettuce, spoon some of the lobster meat filling.
• Now if you have any intact claw meat, make the sandwiches pretty by tucking in some claw meat (like in the pictures).
• Sprinkle some green onion slices over the sandwiches and serve.
• Enjoy!

WARM LOBSTER ROLLS

Steps:

• Cut the lobster meat in large (3/4-inch) dice. Heat 3 tablespoons of the butter in a medium (10-inch) saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the lobster, celery, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 to 3 minutes, until just heated through. Off the heat, sprinkle the lobster with the dill, parsley, and half of the lemon juice. Stir well.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a large (12-inch) saute pan, until the butter sizzles. Place the rolls in the pan on their sides (you are toasting the outsides, not the insides) and cook over medium-high heat for 2 minutes on each side, until nicely browned.
• Place the rolls, cut side up, on a platter. Divide the lobster mixture among the 6 rolls and sprinkle with extra dill, salt, and the remaining lemon juice. Serve hot while the rolls are crisp on the outside and the lobster filling is hot.
