Lobster rolls are just like making any kind of tuna salad sandwich. Add mayo to the cooked lobster along with some seasonings and bam. Lunch is served.
Lobster is pretty simple to cook as well. Boil the lobster tails in water for 8 minutes or until the outer shell has turned red and the meat instead is white instead of opaque. My grocery stores always have the smaller lobster tails so that is what I get. Lobster is a treat to have every now and then even though it’s way more expensive than tuna is. Have to treat yourself every now and then and Lobster rolls are so good.
