🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: sour cream

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Fill the bottom of a pot with about 1 inch of water for steaming lobsters.

Remove rubber bands from lobsters to avoid rubbery taste.

Place lobsters in the pot and cover with a lid; steam for about 10-11 minutes until fully red.

Immediately place cooked lobsters into a bowl to halt the cooking process.

Remove the tail and claws from the lobsters and extract all the meat.

Chop celery into fine pieces for crunch and texture.

Chop chives for flavor and color.

Slice off the ends of the hot dog buns to toast the sides.

Chop the lobster meat into small bite-sized pieces, checking for any shell.

In a bowl, combine lobster meat, chopped celery, some chives, lemon zest, a squeeze of lemon juice, fresh cracked pepper, a pinch of salt, and secret seasoning blend; mix gently.

Taste and adjust seasoning with more lemon, lemon zest, secret seasoning, and salt as needed.

Set the lobster mixture in the fridge while toasting the buns.

Add a generous amount of butter to a pan and coat each side of the buns with butter.

Toast the buns in the pan until golden brown, moving them around to avoid burning.

Pull the toasted buns onto a sheet tray and add more butter to the pan for brown butter.

Finish the lobster rolls with the brown butter.
