Lobster Rolls make for an epic summer meal, but the truth is, you don't really need the split-top hot dog buns. Lightly dressed with mayo and finished off with a big squeeze of lemon juice, lobster salad tastes incredible on its own.
You can buy the lobster precooked from a seafood counter or fish market you trust. Or you can steam the lobster yourself. To keep things simple, all you need to do is place a steamer basket over 2 or so inches of boiling water. Add the lobster and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until it's pink and nicely firm.
Want to really commit to the summer vibes? Fire up the grill and cook your lobsters on there! We love the smoky, charry notes that the grill can add to sweet lobster meat.
For a more traditional lobster salad you can simply nix the avocado. The classic version is perfect for lobster rolls.
