Steps:

  • Fill a large steamer or pot with about 2 inches of water. Add 1 tablespoon sea salt and bring to a boil over medium heat. Put 2 lobsters (about 1 1/2 pounds each) in the steamer basket or directly in the pot; cover and steam until the shells turn bright red, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the lobsters and rinse under cold water until slightly cool. Remove the meat from the shells and roughly chop. Melt 1 stick unsalted butter in a saucepan with the juice of 1 lemon and 1/3 teaspoon paprika. Remove from the heat; stir in the lobster meat and season with salt. Divide among 4 split-top hot dog buns. Serve warm.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 lobster tails
8 tablespoons butter, divided
4 top-sliced hot dog buns
1 pinch paprika
1 pinch kosher salt
4 leaves Bibb lettuce

Steps:

  • Bring 1 cup water to a boil in a steamer. Add lobster tails; steam for 3 minutes. Remove from steamer and rinse under cold water until cool enough to handle.
  • Remove the shells and dice lobster meat into bite-sized pieces.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a 12-inch frying pan. Add 2 buns and turn to coat with butter. Toast over low heat, turning once, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with 1 tablespoon butter and remaining buns.
  • Melt remaining 6 tablespoons butter in the same pan. Toss in lobster pieces. Cook over low heat, stirring almost constantly, for 3 minutes. Add paprika and salt; continue to stir until lobster is opaque, about 2 minutes more.
  • Line toasted buns with lettuce. Fill with lobster. Drizzle any remaining butter on top.
