Garlic Butter Easy Lobster Roll Recipe
Description
The recipe begins by toasting butter-brushed rolls in the oven for a golden crust. Meanwhile, lobster meat is gently cooked in butter along with minced garlic, shallots, and a splash of dry white wine to create a fragrant, flavorful sauce. Lemon zest and fresh tarragon add brightness and herbal notes to the buttery lobster filling.
After the lobster mixture is heated through and the sauce reduced, the rolls are spread with softened butter and toasted on a hot griddle. The lobster is then piled into the warm, crisped rolls to build the sandwich. This lobster roll is best served immediately, possibly with drawn butter on the side for dipping.
