Lobster BLTs with Sweet and Smoky Mayo
Description
The lobster tails are quickly cooked in olive oil, butter, and garlic until opaque, preserving a tender texture. Meanwhile, the sweet and smoky mayo blends mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, and smoked paprika to contribute a tangy and slightly sweet depth that complements the seafood and bacon. The sandwich is assembled immediately with the sauce spread inside toasted bread, crisp lettuce leaves, sliced tomato, and cooked bacon alongside the lobster.
This sandwich balances rich seafood flavors with smoky and fresh ingredients, suitable for a special lunch or light dinner. The optional mayo can be prepared ahead and stored refrigerated for several days, enhancing convenience.
