This quick buttery lobster roll recipe is the perfect summer meal

Most people grill or smoke meats throughout summer, but why not try something new? It doesn’t get any better than lobster rolls, a delicious New England tradition that originated in Milford, Connecticut, in 1929, and grew in popularity all over the region. Lobster rolls are served two ways: either warm with drawn butter on a bun or the way this recipe calls for: with some mayo and lemon juice, served on a toasted bun. The brioche split-top hot dog buns can be found at Trader Joe’s. Costco has good lobster tails, and I’m sure other places have good ones, also.

Lobster is always a good idea, so however it’s being served, I’ll gladly partake. I think I would add celery and maybe some celery seed to this recipe, just for a bit more flavor. If you’re cooking for a crowd and lobster isn’t in the budget, you can substitute shrimp for lobster, however that would make it a shrimp roll.

When entertaining, it’s great to have simple dishes you can prep ahead of time. That way, you can enjoy your company.
