Ingredients

2 1-1/2 pound steamed lobsters
1 stick 4 ounces salted butter
1/3 cup minced cilantro
1/2 lemon zested and juiced
4 New England split top buns

Instructions

Clean lobsters and pick out all the meat. Try to leave the claws whole but give the tail a little chop to break up the meat. Keep the meat cold until ready to use.
In a small saucepan set over low heat slowly melt the butter.
Once melted add in cilantro, lemon zest, and lemon zest.
Add in lobster and let sit over low heat while the lobster slightly warms in the butter.
While the butter warms lightly toast the outside of the buns in a toaster oven or under the broiler of your oven. You can also lightly oil the outside of the bread and toast it in a pan as well.
Stuff the lobster into the toasted rolls and drizzle the tops with any leftover butter in the pan.
Eat the rolls hot with a cold beer.

Notes

I bought fresh lobsters from the store and they steamed them for me at the store for no extra cost! Just ask if your store does this. It saves a lot of time and cleanup to have someone else do the steaming.
