Ingredients

32 ounces of lobster meat we used lobster tail because that's what is available in our grocery store but you can use a mix of claw meat and lobster tail
4 soft good quality hot dog buns
1 stick plus 2 tablespoons of butter divided
a squeeze of fresh lemon juice optional
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Once you've cooked the lobster, remove the meat from the tails and cut it up into pieces. Melt a stick of butter in a medium pan and gently toss the lobster tail with the butter. Season with salt and pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice if you choice.
While the butter is melting and you're tossing it with the lobster, warm the the buns either by grilling them on a hot grill pan or warming in the oven. Melt the remaining butter by microwaving in a microwave safe dish for 30 seconds. Brush the rolls with the melted butter. Then fill them to the brim with buttery lobster filling. Serve warm.
