3 quarts water
3 tbsp sea salt
3 1 to 1 ¼ lb live lobsters
¼ cup mayonnaise
juice from ½ lemon
1 inner celery stalk
1 tsp parsley
salt and ground black pepper
2 tbsp butter
2 hot dog rolls
½ cup iceberg lettuce
1. In a large pot, boil the water with the sea salt.
2. Add the lobsters and cook until bright red, about 8 minutes, working in batches if necessary.
3. Remove the lobsters from the water and allow to cool for about 15 minutes.
4. Remove the meat from the lobsters, cutting any large pieces into bite-sized pieces.
5. In a mixing bowl, combine the lobster meat, mayonnaise, lemon juice, celery, parsley, and salt and pepper.
6. Place the lobster salad in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes.
7. As the lobster salad chills, brush both sides of the hot dog buns with butter and lightly toast or grill.
8. To assemble the lobster roll, fill each hot dog bun with ½ the shredded lettuce and ½ the lobster salad.
