Sarasota's Seafood aka Lobster Rolls
- 8 hot dog rolls (bakery style preferred)
- 3 cups seafood, rough chopped (any mix of shrimp, crab, scallops or fish)
- 2 medium celery ribs, chopped fine (including the leaves)
- 4 large shallots, fine chopped
- 2 cups iceberg lettuce, shredded
- 1 cup mayonnaise, no miracle whip (a bit more or less depending on how creamy you like the salad) or 1 cup low fat
- 12-1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 pinch Old Bay Seasoning, this is especially important if you didn't cook your own seafood (any seafood seasoning will work)
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- 1 -2 teaspoon fresh parsley, fine chopped
- 12 cut butter, melted
- salt
- pepper
- Seafood -- NOTE from above: If using fresh seafood - I simply season with Old Bay or any seafood seasoning and then pan saute in a little olive oil.
- This will work for shrimp, scallops or any white fish.
- I can't give exact cooking times as they will all be different.
- Once cooked until tender, transfer to a plate, cover and refrigerate before using.
- Rough chop before adding to the dressing.
- Salad -- In a medium size bowl, mix the mayonnaise, lemon, parsley, shallots, celery, salt, pepper, cayenne, and Old Bay (if you did not cook your own seafood).
- Add in the cooked chilled seafood and stir well to combine.
- Be careful not to over mix as you do not want to break up the seafood.
- Butter and Buns -- In a measuring cup or any cup or bowl, melt the butter in the microwave.
- Just 1 minute or so on medium.
- Brush the butter on the inside of the hot dog rolls/buns and put under the broiler for just a few minutes until slightly brown.
- I use the second shelf so they don't brown too quickly.
- Remove and let cool slightly.
- Serve -- I like to add 1/4 cup of the shredded lettuce in the bottom of the buns and then STUFF with the salad and enjoy!
- It is just a great salad.
- Worthy of company or a dinner party.
- ENJOY!
