Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Kosher salt
Two 2-pound lobsters
Canola oil, for brushing
Freshly ground black pepper
6 hot dog buns
Lemon-Tarragon Clarified Butter, warm, recipe follows
2 sticks unsalted butter
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Juice of 1 fresh lemon
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh tarragon
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Pinch cayenne, optional

Steps:

  • To par-cook the lobsters: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lobsters and cook about 7 minutes; they will be about three-quarters done. Drain well and let cool. Cut in half lengthwise.
  • Heat a charcoal or gas grill to high for direct grilling. Brush the cut-side of the lobsters with some oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill, cut-side down, until slightly charred. Flip and continue grilling until lightly charred and heated through. Remove the lobsters from the grill and let cool slightly.
  • Brush the insides of the hot dog buns with some oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until just toasty.
  • Remove the tail and claw meat from the lobsters. You can cut them, but just enough to give you about 2 very large pieces per bun. Drop them into the Lemon-Tarragon Clarified Butter and give them a good soaking. Spoon the lobster into the toasted buns and serve immediately.
  • Melt the butter slowly in a medium saucepan over low heat. Let it sit for a bit to separate. Skim off the foam that rises to the top, and gently pour into a bowl, leaving behind the milk solids, which have settled to the bottom of the pan.
  • Put the clarified butter in a large saute pan over low heat. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice and tarragon, and season with salt, pepper and cayenne if desired.

These lobster rolls are so expensive! I could never justify spending that much money on a sandwich.

I used frozen lobster meat for this recipe and it turned out great. Just be sure to thaw it completely before cooking.
