Preparation


1

Step 1

Rinse the lobster meat and pick through for any loose shells. Drain thoroughly so the mayo sauce doesn't get watery. Chop or tear into large chunks and set aside.

2

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix the celery, mayonnaise, chives, lemon juice, lemon zest, kosher salt and ground black pepper. Taste for seasoning.

3

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter and add the lobster meat. Cook, stirring for 2 minutes until warmed through and buttery all over.

4

Step 4

Use a slotted spoon to dish the lobster meat into the mayonnaise mixture and toss to coat. Discard butter and juice released from the lobster and wipe out the skillet.

5

Step 5

Melt the remaining butter in the skillet over medium heat; toast the buns on the cut sides about 2 minutes each side until golden and toasty.

6

Step 6

Load each bun equally with lobster meat and garnish with more chives if desired. Serve with potato chips.

Notes

Use a slotted spoon to transfer lobster to the dressing to avoid a runny sauce.
For the best texture, use soft, split-top brioche or New England-style buns.
Trim the sides of the buns to expose the crumb before toasting for extra richness.
