Ingredients for lobster rolls

Cooked Lobster Meat: Half a pound for that luxurious flavor.

Jerk Seasoning: One tablespoon to bring the heat. I suggest to use walkers wood jerk seasoning, it’s the best!

Mayo: One and a half tablespoons to make it creamy. I don’t use too much mayo because it can quickly become overpowering.

Chopped Chives: One tablespoon for freshness.

Hot Old Bay Seasoning: Half a teaspoon for an extra kick.

Lemon Juice: A squeeze to brighten up the flavors.

Butter: One tablespoon to toast the buns.

Split-Top Hotdog Buns: Two for holding all that goodness. Split top is a must and the traditional way for lobster rolls.

The full written recipe is below on the recipe card.

They have a good kick from the jerk seasoning and hot Old Bay, but you can adjust the spices to your taste.

Potato chips, coleslaw, or a fresh green salad make great sides.

Leftover lobster rolls can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For best results, keep the lobster mixture and buns separate until ready to serve.
