Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons finely diced red onion
- 2 tablespoons finely diced celery
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- Dash of hot sauce like Tabasco or Crystal, not Frank's or Sriracha, optional
- 1 teaspoon finely minced parsley
- ¼ teaspoon white pepper *see note
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 lb cooked and cleaned lobster meat cut into bite-sized pieces (*see note)
- 4 New England style top split hot dog buns *see note
- 4 tablespoons salted butter softened
Notes
- Do not substitute black pepper for white pepper in this recipe - it's too strong. If you don't have any just leave it out altogether.
- You can purchase already cooked and cleaned lobster meat or use the meat from about 3 medium lobsters or 4 medium lobster tails.
- If you can't find New England style buns, use top split hot dog buns. The brioche buns are especially good.
