Warm, toasty, buttered rolls are key. If you can't find New England-style buns, trim 1/4 from both sides of standard hot dog buns to remove the crust and expose more surface area. Ingredients:
kosher salt |
3 1 1/4-pound live lobsters |
1 celery stalk, finely chopped |
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives |
2-3 tablespoons mayonnaise |
freshly ground black pepper |
6 new england-style split-top hot dog buns |
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature |
Directions:
1. Pour water into a large pot to a depth of 1 ; bring to a boil and salt generously. Add lobsters, cover, and cook until bright red, 8-10 minutes. Transfer lobsters to a rimmed baking sheet and let cool.
2. Crack lobster shells, pick meat from tail and claws, and cut into 1/2 pieces. Mix lobster, celery, lemon juice, chives, and 2 tablespoons mayonnaise in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper and add more mayonnaise, if desired.
3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Spread flat sides of buns with butter. Cook until golden, about 2 minutes per side; fill with lobster mixture.
4. DO AHEAD: Lobster meat can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Toss with remaining ingredients just before serving.
