Florida Lobster Roll

When you think of lobster roll, you think of Maine or New England. Now, Florida has lobster too, just without claws. I still like the ones with claws better, but the way they cook them is not like up north. They use local vegetables and a hint of citrus like Meyer lemon or orange. I used brown butter for a nutty flavor and brown bread roll to add sweetness. They also serve them warm with slaw on top. I hope you like it.

1 pound lobster meat
8 tablespoons butter
1 stalk celery diced
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
2 teaspoons chives
1/2 cup cole slaw
1 12” loaf brown bread
2 Meyer lemons

Add lobsters to boiling water.

Boil for 8 minutes.

Removed lobster to an ice bath to stop cooking.

Remove lobster from shell. Don’t forget to squeeze out the leg meat.

Juice and zest 2 Meyer lemons.

Chop meat until bite size pieces.

Heat skillet to medium.

Add butter and melt; cook until butter browns.

Add celery and chives.

Add lobster and cook until lobster is fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.

Add zest and juice.

Heat bread for 5 minutes at 350.

Cut slit in bread and add lobster meat.

Top with coleslaw.

    I love Florida lobster. It makes up for no claws by having extra meat in the body.

    I’m so used to Florida lobster, I sometimes forget they have claws in others parts of the world.
