👨🍳 निर्देश
- 1
Prepare the lobster meat: If using whole cooked lobsters, extract the meat from the tail, claws, and knuckles. Discard any shell. Chop the lobster meat into bite-sized pieces, about 1/2-inch chunks. You want some texture, not finely minced. If using pre-cooked meat, ensure it's chilled and then chop as directed. Set aside.
⏱️ 15 minutes - 2
Make the lobster salad: In a medium bowl, gently combine the chopped lobster meat, mayonnaise, minced celery, and fresh lemon juice. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your taste. Mix carefully to avoid breaking up the lobster too much. The goal is to lightly coat the lobster, not to drown it.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 3
Toast the buns: Melt the butter in a large skillet or on a griddle over medium heat (approximately 175°C / 350°F). Place the split-top buns cut-side down into the melted butter. Toast for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and slightly crisp. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 4
Assemble and serve: Generously fill each toasted bun with the prepared lobster salad. Serve immediately while the buns are warm and crisp for the best experience.
