Ingredients

The following ingredients have 3 Servings
  • 1 cup potato chips
  • 1 tbsp packed celery leaves
  • 1 tbsp packed parsley leaves
  • 1 tbsp packed chives
  • salt (to taste)
  • 2 live lobsters ((3 lbs total))
  • 1 tbsp minced celery
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp minced chives
  • salt and pepper
  • 3 hot dog buns (toasted)

Instruction

  • Make the herbed potato chip dust by combining the potato chips, celery leaves, parsley, and chives in a food processor. Pulse until the potato chips are ground up into small pieces, then adjust to taste with salt, since the potato chips may already have some salt on them.
  • Place the lobsters into the freezer for 30 minutes*, and in the meantime, bring a big pot of water to a boil, about a gallon and a half. Season with 1/4 cup of salt, then add the lobsters to the pot. Cover the pot with the lid slightly open, and adjust the heat so the water is at a gentle boil. Cook the lobsters for 10-12 minutes, until the thickest part of the tail (right where the tail attaches to the main part of the lobster) measures 175 degrees F with a thermometer.
  • Remove the meat from the lobster using kitchen shears or a lobster tool, and toss it with the celery, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and minced chives. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Spoon the lobster mixture into the toasted buns and sprinkle with the herbed potato chip dust. Enjoy!
