Ingredients

Langostino Meat: 1 pound of fresh, sweet langostino tails, providing tender and flavorful seafood base.
Mayonnaise: 2 tablespoons of creamy mayonnaise adds richness and binds the filling smoothly.
Lemon Juice: 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice for bright, tangy acidity that enhances seafood taste.
Fresh Parsley: 1 tablespoon chopped parsley offers fresh herbal notes and vibrant color.
Hot Dog Buns: 4 soft, white buns provide the perfect vessel for the lobster filling.
Butter: 2 tablespoons unsalted butter to toast buns, adding golden, crispy texture and flavor.
Salt and Pepper: To taste, seasoning the langostino mixture perfectly to complement its sweetness.

Instructions

Mix Langostino Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the langostino meat, mayonnaise, fresh lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. This mixture creates a creamy, flavorful filling that highlights the sweet seafood taste while the lemon adds freshness.
Prepare the Skillet: Place a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter evenly. The butter will help achieve perfectly toasted buns with a golden crust that adds richness and crunch to the rolls.
Toast the Buns: Place the hot dog buns open-faced on the skillet and toast until they become golden brown and slightly crisp. Toasting the buns enhances their flavor and prevents them from becoming soggy when filled.
Fill the Rolls: Spoon the langostino mixture generously into each toasted bun. Fill carefully to evenly distribute the creamy seafood mixture, making each bite delicious and balanced.
Serve Immediately: Serve the langostino lobster rolls right away for the best texture and flavor. Fresh, warm buns with chilled filling create a wonderful contrast, perfect for enjoying immediately.
