Erics Lobster Rolls Recipes

Steps:

• If using regular yogurt, place it in a strainer lined with paper towel and set the strainer over a bowl. Let the yogurt drain and thicken for 20 minutes.
• In a bowl, stir together the thickened or Greek-style yogurt, mayonnaise, celery, scallion and lemon juice. Fold in the lobster meat and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Chill until ready to use. Just before serving, open the hot dog buns and brush the inside with olive oil. Heat a grill pan over moderately high heat and grill the bread, cut side down, until toasted, about 3 minutes. Fill each with 3/4 cup of the lobster mixture and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Crack the lobsters open using the back of a chef's knife or a lobster cracker. Do this carefully so the shells don't break into a lot of small pieces. Or, ask your fishmonger to remove the shells. Pull out the lobster meat and discard the shells. Roughly chop the meat into 2cm pieces, then put in a bowl, cover and chill until needed.
• Mix the mayonnaise, lemon juice, celery, most of the chives and cayenne together in a small bowl. Taste for seasoning, adding more lemon juice if needed. Toss the lobster with the dressing.
• Slice a thin piece off the sides of each bun, then split them open, being careful not to cut all the way through. Melt the butter in a frying pan and fry the buns for 1-2 mins on the cut sides until golden and toasted. Pile the lobster filling into rolls, then sprinkle with another pinch of cayenne and the reserved chives. Eat alongside some ready salted crisps, if you like.

Steps:

• Trim celery and green onion ends; place in a pot. Add 2 tablespoons lemon juice, seafood seasoning, and blackening seasoning. Cover with water; bring to a boil.
• Stir lobster tails and shrimp into the boiling water. Cook until they float to the top, about 7 minutes. Drain. Remove lobster meat from the shell; cut into bite-sized pieces. Place lobster meat and shrimp in a bowl. Refrigerate until cool.
• Transfer celery and green onions to a bowl. Add seafood salad and crab dip. Drizzle remaining lemon juice on top. Mix in cooled lobster meat and shrimp. Season with a little more lemon juice.
• Split and stuff croissants with lobster and shrimp salad.

Steps:

• Cut the lobster into 1/2-inch pieces and place in a bowl. Chop the celery into medium-fine pieces and stir into lobster. Stir in just enough mayonnaise to coat the lobster mixture.
• As is traditional in Maine lobster shacks, fry the rolls in a skillet or on a griddle in butter. Otherwise, toast them on both sides under a broiler. Add the lobster salad and sprinkle with paprika and a few capers.
