Enjoy a delightful take on the classic lobster roll with enhanced flavors and a touch of freshness.
Prepare the lobster meat by cooking the lobster tails in simmering water for about 5 minutes until the meat is opaque and cooked through.
Use kitchen shears to easily remove the lobster meat from the shell.
Dice the cooked lobster meat into bite-sized pieces and refrigerate until ready to use.
Chill the lobster meat to keep it fresh and firm.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, juice from the lemon, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Adjust the seasoning to taste for a perfect balance of flavors.
Gently fold the diced lobster meat into the dressing until well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Letting the mixture rest allows the flavors to meld together.
Lightly toast the hot dog rolls until golden brown.
Toasting the rolls adds a delightful crunch to the dish.
Fill each toasted roll with the lobster mixture and garnish with fresh chives.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
