Serves: 4
INGREDIENTS
- 2 2lb. lobsters
- 2 ribs celery, diced
- 1/4 cup chives, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon red onion, finely chopped (optional)
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- pinch cayenne pepper
- 4 hot dog buns
- butter for buns
DIRECTIONS
- Add one inch of water to a pot with a lid that is big enough to hold both lobsters (or you can cook one at a time) and bring it to a rapid boil.
- Place the lobsters in the pot and cover.
- Lower the heat, but keep it high enough to keep the water boiling.
- Steam the lobsters for no more than 15 minutes.
- Remove the lobsters from the pot and allow them to cool.
- Remove the meat and chill well. DO NOT rinse the meat under cool water to chill.
- Shred the meat with your fingers into a bowl.
- Add the celery, chives, optional red onion, and mayonnaise and mix together. Finish with a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Toast and butter your buns. This is best accomplished on a griddle. Butter the buns and then toast them on the griddle.
- Pile on your lobster salad and enjoy!
