Ingredients
  • 3 (5-6 oz.) frozen, uncooked lobster tails
  • 2 Tbsps. butter
  • ½ Tbsp. lemon juice
  • ⅛ tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 Tbsp. mayonnaise
  • 1 Tbsp. fresh parsley
  • pinch of paprika
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • Butter for toasting buns
  • 2 hot dog buns
Instructions
  1. Defrost lobster tail in the refrigerator overnight or submerge tails in a large bowl of cool water for 30- 40 minutes. You know they're ready when then top can easily bend and touch the tail.
  2. Heat a large pot of water over high heat. Just before it reaches a boil add the tails and reduce heat to medium cooking until they turn bright pink- about 7-10 minutes.
  3. Remove tails and place in a bowl of ice cold water to cool about 3 minutes.
  4. Using shears, cut down the center of each tail to remove the meat. Remove the vein.
  5. Chop the meat into bite-size pieces and set aside.
  6. Heat the butter, lemon juice, and garlic powder in sauce pan, stirring to combine and add lobster meat. Saute about 2 minutes.
  7. Transfer meat to a bowl and add mayo, parsley, and paprika and gently combine adding salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate for an hour.
  8. Melt 2-3 Tbsps. butter in the microwave and brush the inside of the buns. Place in a skillet over medium-high heat and toast. You can toast the outside of the buns if you choose.
  9. Place lobster inside the toasted buns and eat!
