Equipment

Small bowl

Ingredients

1 ½ cups cooked and chopped lobster meat from about 3 (1-pound) whole lobsters
3-4 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons celery finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh chives chopped
½ lemon juiced
Salt and pepper to taste
4 top-split hot dog buns
2 tablespoons butter softened
1 tablespoon melted butter

Instructions

In a small bowl, stir together the chopped lobster meat and mayonnaise. Add the celery, chives, salt, pepper and lemon juice. Refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to meld.
Turn the grill to medium-high heat. Spread the softened butter on the inside of the rolls and grill until slightly crusty and char marks appear. Remove rolls from the grill and fill with the lobster mixture. Brush the outside of the buns with melted butter. Enjoy!

Notes

My local Safeway carries whole lobsters already cooked. Sometimes they're in view at the seafood counter, but a lot of times I have to ask for them. If you don't see them, ask your seafood counter person if any are available in the back.
