Mike's Classic Lobster Rolls
- 4 Or 5 4 oz Lobster Tails depending upon how rich you want your sandwiches
- 1 packages 20 oz Imitation Crab Meat
- 1/2 cup Real Mayonnaise + additional as per your taste
- 1/2 cup Celery With Leaves
- 1/4 cup Chopped Chives
- 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley packed
- 1 tsp Lemon Pepper
- 1/4 tsp White Pepper
- 1/2 tsp Granulated Garlic
- 1 tsp Yellow Mustard
- 2 tbsp Real Butter
- 2 packages King's Hawaiian Rolls 12 count per bag or mini rolls 6 count
- 1 stick Real Salted Butter optional
- 1 Bottle Garlic Powder
- 3 cup Shredded Iceberg Lettuce
- 1 large Bag Salt & Vinegar Potato Chips
- 4 large Dill Pickle Quartered Spears
- 1 tub Fresh Guacamole
- 1 dash Old Bay Seasoning
- 1 dash Paprika
- 1 dash Celery Salt
- Add everything in the, "Lobster Meat Mixture," category except for the lobster in a large bowl and mix well.
- You will need more mayo than is called for.
- Tablespoon by tablespoon add more mayonnaise until it reaches the creamy consistency you desire.
- I usually add 3 additional tablespoons.
- De-thaw your lobster tails in water if frozen.
- Do not steam/boil/cook frozen.
- Once thawed, cut the underside of your lobster tails lengthwise and remove meat.
- Rinse lobster meat and discard anything you deem undesirable.
- Fill 1-1/2" of water and 2 tablespoons butter in a pot with a tight fitting lid.
- Bring to a boil and add lobster meat.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer/steam lobster meat for 5 to 6 minutes.
- Once cooked, place on plate to cool.
- Chop lobster meat and add to lobster meat mixture and mix.
- Place in fridge until fully chilled.
- Carefully tear 4 lengthwise rolls from the other 8.
- Then another 4 lengthwise rolls from the 8.
- This will leave you with 3 long sweet sub rolls each consisting of 4 mini rolls.
- Note: There are also King's Hawaiian Mini Sub Rolls available now that come in packs of 6 and are pre-split.
- I've used those in the photo below.
- You can find these rolls in the deli section of your local supermarket.
- Carefully slice lengthwise down the side of your roll if using the 12 pack to create an opening for your lobster meat without cutting it completely in half.
- You can use these rolls as they are or butter and sear them in a hot pan.
- If I sear them, I lightly butter the rolls and lightly sprinkle with garlic powder.
- Smear a layer of guacamole on one side of your roll.
- Add shredded lettuce and pile on your lobster meat mixture.
- Sprinkle liberally with Old Bay Seasoning and a pinch of Celery Salt.
- Also, add a long, thin dill pickle spear at the top of sandwich and serve with Salt & Vinegar Chips to cut some of the richness.
- To reduce the overall carbs, you can use low carb bread and omit the guacamole.
- Enjoy!
