Ingredients
Langostino Lobster Filling:
- 6 tablespoons butter melted
- 2-3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 lemon zested
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 12 ounces frozen langostino lobster tails thawed* (1 bag of langostino tails from Trader Joe 's)
Rolls:
- 4 brioche hot dog buns split top
- 2 tablespoons butter softened
- 2 tablespoons chives finely diced
- Optional: 1 tablespoon fresh parsley for garnish
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Langostino Lobster Filling: Drain thawed langostino tails well and pat dry with paper towels. Melt 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a medium-sized pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Use a whisk to stir in kosher salt, smoked paprika, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix well to combine the flavors. Add the langostino tails to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes or until heated through, careful not to overcook. Stir occasionally to coat the langostino in the flavorful butter mixture. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Toast the Brioche Buns: While the langostino mixture is cooking, spread softened butter on the split sides of the Brioche hot dog buns (basically, you turn the buns inside out!). In a separate pan or on a griddle, toast the buns until golden brown. This step enhances the flavor and texture of the rolls.
- Assemble the Langostino Lobster Rolls: Spoon the prepared langostino lobster filling generously into each toasted brioche bun. Sprinkle diced chives over the filling for a burst of freshness. Garnish with fresh parsley for an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal.
- Serve: Arrange the langostino lobster rolls on a serving platter. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the rolls, adding a bright and citrusy finish to the dish.

Notes
