Hot Lobster Rolls

I am a lobster fan, but I'm not a fan of cooking and shelling lobster.  It's just messy.  There are ready-to-eat lobster products on the market, and this recipe uses that.

1 cup salted butter

1 Tbsp finely diced shallots

14 oz cooked lobster meat

4 hotdog buns (top-sliced)

4 large pieces of leaf lettuce

4 lemon wedges

In a shallow pot over medium heat, melt butter.  Add shallots and sauté until soft, and fragrant, about 1 minute.  Add cooked lobster and sauté for about 2 minutes, until lobster is heated through.

Place frying pan over medium heat.  Butter outsides of each hotdog bun and toast each side until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.  

To assemble, line each bun with a piece of lettuce.  Using a slotted spoon, scoop, strain and spoon 3 1/2 oz of lobster into each lettuce-lined bun.  Garnish with a lemon wedge.  

Have your napkins handy.  This is delicious, but drippy.
