Rocking the Lobster Roll

This Sunday is Father's Day, so after giving him the usual gift of after-shave and a tie, why not serve up something different for dear old Dad this year?  During a recent visit to the supermarket, I noticed there was a special on pre-cooked lobsters. I bought a few, brought them home, put them in the downstairs freezer, and forgot about them until my wife discovered them a few days later. I decided I wanted to do more than just boiling and serving them with some butter, so after doing a quick check on the interwebs, I made the recipe below. Happy Father's Day everyone!
Ingredients
454g cooked and cubed lobster meat (I let my lobsters thaw out, then boiled them in water for 2-3 minutes)
2 hot dog buns or kaiser rolls
1-1/2 teaspoons butter, softened
2 lettuce leaves
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon lime juice
1/2 dash hot pepper sauce
1 green onion, chopped
1/2 stalk celery, finely chopped
1/2 pinch dried basil, parsley, tarragon, or dill
salt and pepper to taste

  1. Lightly butter the insides of the buns or rolls and line with lettuce leaves, then set them aside.
  2. Mix the mayonnaise, lime juice, hot pepper sauce, salt and pepper in a bowl until well blended. Mix in the green onion and celery, then lightly mix in the lobster so it just gets coated without falling apart..
  3. Put the lobster filling into the buns and sprinkle lightly with the remaining spice ingredients.
