Give a refreshing twist to classic lobster roll - These Summer Lobster Rolls filled up with vibrant and healthier ingredients for the perfect summer meal!
A classic all-American favorite, these summer lobster rolls makes the best use of hot dogs buns and succulent lobster.
I've tried lobster rolls before, but I always found them a bit too rich. So I much prefer my own version ( so I know exactly what goes in).
To make lobster rolls, you only need very simple ingredients:
- lobster tails
- frozen sweetcorn and garden peas
- greek yogurt
- sour cream
- lemon
- spring onion
- and hot dog buns ( even better if you can find brioche buns)
Other than that, I like to add some freshly chopped cilantro and red chili, to give a nice spicy kick and balance the sweetness of the veggies.
These light summer lobster rolls are very quick and easy to make, and come together in just as little as 20 minutes.
Start by steaming the lobster tails, in the meantime blanch the sweetcorn and peas and grill the buns.
Then, all you have to do is mix together the lobster meat with the veggies, sour cream and greek yogurt , some lemon juice and zest, chopped cilantro and chili.
Don't forget to season well with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
There you go, your delicious lobster mixture is all ready to be stuffed in the buns and go straight into your mouth!
I really hope you give these awesome and light summer lobster rolls a try.
