Ingredients

Instructions
- Dab the lobster meat dry with a paper towel if needed and cut into ½-inch pieces.
- In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, celery, lemon juice, salt, and hot sauce. Add the chopped lobster and gently toss to combine.
- To prepare the buns, cut a slice off each side of the bun and brush with butter.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Place the bun in the skillet, butter side down, and cook for 2 minutes or until golden brown. Flip and repeat on the other side.

Notes
- *To Cook Lobster Tails (Ensure the tails are thawed).
- **If you are unable to find top-cut buns, purchase fresh unsliced bakery buns and cut them yourself.
- Leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for 2 days and in the freezer for 1 month.
- Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a gentle boil. Prepare an ice bath in a large bowl. Drop the tails in and gently boil for 5 to 7 minutes (3 to 5 minutes for 3-4 ounce tails) or until cooked through. Once cooked, transfer the tails to the ice bath and let them cool for 10 minutes or until chilled.
- Drain well. Using kitchen scissors, cut up the underside of the tail to remove the meat. Rinse the lobster well to ensure there are no bits of shell, and dab dry with a paper towel.
