Like a day at the shore. Use really fresh lobster and a hefty squeeze of lemon for the best flavor.

Ingredients

3 1/2 Tbsp regular butter, divided   
  4 roll(s) reduced calorie hot dog bun(s), split open   
  1 pound(s) uncooked lobster meat, about 2 or 3 tails (fresh or frozen and thawed)   
1/4 tsp table salt   
1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground   
2 tsp fresh lemon juice, or to taste   
  1/2 medium (medium) lemon(s), quartered   

Instructions

  • Melt 1 1/2 tablespoons butter; brush on insides of split hot dog buns and set aside.

  • To remove meat from lobster tails, turn tails upside down and make a slit with a sharp knife in the underside of shell from top to tail. Hold shell with both hands and crack shell backwards so you can pull lobster meat out of shell in one piece, starting at top and working it out of the tail.

  • Slice raw lobster into bite-size pieces.

  • Heat skillet over a medium-low heat; add remaining 2 tablespoons butter, salt and pepper. When butter has melted, sauté lobster until pink, about 4 minutes. Remove lobster to a plate and deglaze pan with lemon juice; remove sauce from skillet and set aside.

  • Carefully wipe skillet clean; set over medium heat. Toast hot dog buns, buttered-side down, until golden brown.

  • Lay each toasted bun open on a plate and fill with lobster. Pour deglazed sauce over rolls and serve with lemon wedges. Yields 1 lobster roll per serving.

Notes

  • A real New England treat, these rolls can be made with shrimp, scallops or crabmeat (could affect PointsPlus values).

    We wanted to highlight the lobster so we kept the seasonings simple but you can add 1 teaspoon of fresh minced tarragon or chives, or 1/2 teaspoon of minced capers to the butter, if desired.

    The PointsPlus value of this recipe does not change if you use light butter instead of regular butter. We prefer the flavor of the regular butter - especially since we have significantly cut back on the amount of butter in the recipe.

Deelish! We steamed the lobsters first (we just felt weird hacking up a living lobster, which really makes no sense. Nothing to suggest that slowly steaming is a better death than being hacked apart), and then cut up the meat. I melted the butter, warmed the meat in it, and then added the lemon, salt and pepper. I could see pouring it over pasta or rice as well. A still-buttery, but lighter and healthier way to enjoy lobster.
