Lobster Roll Recipes

A conventional lobster roll contains fresh cooked lobster meat, tossed with mayonnaise and served on a grilled hot dog bun with the opening on the top, rather than on the side. The stuffing may also contain diced celery or scallion, use of drawn butter in addition or instead of mayonnaise. The sandwich can also be flavored with lettuce or lemon. It's difficult to say where the original lobster roll recipe originated, but it is believed the first lobster roll was probably served in New England, United States. Lobster rolls are peculiarly associated with the state of Maine in the United States and are popularly available at seafood restaurants in other states of New England also.

Avocado Lobster Roll
Ingredients

• 4 hot dog buns
• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 small red onion, finely chopped
• ½ pound of cooked lobster meat
• 2 ripe avocados
• Salt & pepper
• Dash of hot sauce

Preparation
Open up the hot dog buns and slightly toast them. Cut the avocado lengthwise, twist the halves and use a knife to remove the pit. Take out the avocado from the peel with a spoon and put it in a mixing bowl. With the help of a potato masher, mash the avocados and add lemon juice and stir. This will prevent the browning of the avocados. Add the red onions and hot sauce to the mixing bowl and season with salt and pepper; mix it well. To make it more spicy, add extra hot sauce. Finally, add the lobster meat into the bowl and coat it with the avocado mixture. Place a few spoonfuls of the mixture into each bun and serve with chips or fries.
