Total Time: 30 mins
Ingredients
3
(8-oz.) lobster tails, steamed, meat removed and chopped
6 tbsp.
butter, divided
4
split-top hot dog buns
2 tbsp.
freshly chopped chives
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Lemon wedges, for serving
Directions
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and brush all over cut sides of hot dog buns. Heat a large skillet on medium heat and add buns, cut side down. (You may have to do this in batches.) Let toast until golden, 1 to 2 minutes.
When buns are toasted, remove from pan and add remaining butter. Reduce heat to low. When butter has melted add lobster and cook, stirring constantly to coat lobster with butter. Remove when lobster is completely coated in butter and warmed through, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Fill toasted buns with lobster and garnish with chives. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing.
