Include Lobster Rolls & Ice Cold Beer for Your Labor Day Lunch

Lobster (or Crab) Rolls

Makes approx 3 servings

Ingredients:

½ - ⅔ lb chunk (or lump) Lobster or Crab meat
½ stalk celery (finely chopped)
2 or more Tbsp mayonnaise (depending on desired moistness)
Lobster or Crab seasoning (Old Bay Seasoning mix)
A little butter for sautéing
3 hot dog rolls

Directions

Sauté meat and chopped celery in butter in skillet. When hot (do not burn), turn off stove and fold in mayonnaise quickly and remove from heat. Spoon the mixture into “steamed” hot dog roll (see below). Sprinkle with seasoning for garnish and flavor. Eat with an ice- cold beer.

Steaming rolls: Miracles of technology make it much easier to steam rolls than it was for my Great Grandmother. Wet fingers under the faucet and lightly sprinkle the rolls with water a couple of times. Place in a “paper” bag and microwave for about 10 seconds (plus or minus depending on the microwave power).
