Dijon mustard 1 teaspoon
Chopped chives 1 tablespoon
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Hot dog buns 4
Butter 2 tablespoons
Optional: Lettuce and thinly sliced cucumber For garnish

Take note
Be careful when handling live lobsters. They have strong claws! Also, make sure to not overcook the lobster meat as it can become tough and rubbery.

1

Prepare the Lobster

Fill a large pot halfway with water and bring it to a boil. Add a generous amount of salt to the water. Carefully add live lobsters to the boiling water and cover the pot. Cook for about 8-10 minutes until the lobsters are bright red and fully cooked. Remove the lobsters from the pot and let them cool.

2

Extract the Lobster Meat

Once the lobsters have cooled, twist off the claws and legs. Crack them open with a nutcracker or a lobster cracker to extract the meat. Next, twist off the tail and remove the meat by cracking the shell open. Finally, remove the meat from the body by carefully pulling it out. Chop the lobster meat into bite-sized pieces.

3

Prepare the Sauce

In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, chopped chives, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.

4

Assemble the Lobster Roll

Split open the hot dog buns and lightly toast them on a griddle or in a toaster. Brush melted butter on the inside of each toasted bun. Place a generous amount of chopped lobster meat on each bun and drizzle the sauce on top. Optionally, you can add some lettuce or thinly sliced cucumber for extra freshness.
