Are you ready to impress with minimal effort? If so, get ready because this recipe is for you! These mini adorable lobster rolls are so easy to prepare, don’t let those lobster tails fool you. They get cooked in a quick 6 minutes, cooled for 5 minutes, then cracked, chopped and tossed with a light yet creamy delicious mixture. Before you know it, you have a beautifully succulent summer rolls right before your eyes. So, if you’re ready let’s get cracking!
You can never go wrong with lobster rolls especially during the summer time. What I love about these is that they are easy 2-3 biters and they aren‘t overly packed or piled high which means, mess free! You will be able to enjoy them without become overly full. Plus, you can easily socialize and eat at the same time when at a gathering this summer season.
With that being said, I love the fact that these are not overly piled high. But,don’t get me wrong I love a super meaty lobster roll, I mean the lobster is the best part! Am I right or am I right? However, it’s messier and harder to enjoy when all of the pieces are falling out of the roll and you are trying to socialize.
So,if you want to opt to have these be fuller and overly packed, I still definitely recommend doing it! You will just need to get double the amount of lobster or purchase your desired amount. The more meat you purchase, the more lobster you will have on hand and the more you will be able to stuff these little rolls with all of that lobster goodness.
The Lobster Tails:
Let’s talk about how to cook the lobster tails. There are multiple avenues you can take, however the easiest and fastest way I like to make them for this recipe specifically is by boiling them in salt water. Boiling them makes cooking thema breeze. There is no stress on your end and you can multitask and prep the other items while they cook.
The Buns:
I purchased these brioche hot dog buns from Whole Foods. They are a little different in that they are brioche and they have a different type of cut on the top. I wanted to make these a little smaller by cutting off a little bit of each end to it is a nice rectangle shaped bun. If you want the whole bun feel free to keep the ends on.

I must say, I am feeling a little shellfish because I don’t want to share! How could I want to!? Served warm or at room temperature these babies get tossed lightly with mayo, coarse dijon mustard, lemon juice, chives, celery and old bay seasoning.
