Brown-Butter Lobster Roll
Instructions
SERVINGS: 2
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the lobsters until they turn red, 8 to 10 minutes. Allow the lobsters to cool, then remove the meat and chop into ½-inch pieces. Be sure to save your shells to make shellfish stock.
Place a skillet over medium heat and add one tablespoon of the butter. Toast the buns on both sides. Reserve.
