  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 soft New England-style rolls

  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon garlic minced

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Lobster:
  • Cook the lobster tails in boiling water for 6-8 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and tender.
  • Let the lobster cool slightly, then remove the meat from the shells and chop it into bite-sized chunks.
  • Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:
  • In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
  • Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Stir in the lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Make the Lemon Aioli Sauce:
  • In a small mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the lemon juice if you want a more tangy flavor.
  • Combine Lobster and Garlic Butter:
  • Add the chopped lobster to the skillet with garlic butter and toss gently. Heat for 2-3 minutes until the lobster is warmed through and coated in the sauce.
  • Toast the Rolls:
  • Heat a small amount of olive oil in another skillet over medium heat.
  • Place the rolls in the skillet and toast each side until golden and crispy, about 2 minutes per side.
  • Assemble the Rolls:
  • Remove the rolls from the skillet and spoon the garlic butter lobster mixture into each roll.
  • Drizzle the homemade lemon aioli sauce generously over the lobster.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
