Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup hot sauce Frank's RedHot
  • 12 oz unsalted butter cubed
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • 1.5-2 lbs cooked lobster meat
  • 6-8 New England hot dog buns
  • 4 tbsp butter for toasting
  • Fresh chives for garnish
  • Lemon wedges for serving
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Pick through lobster meat for shell pieces and pat dry. Let come to room temperature.
  2. Warm honey in saucepan, add garlic and cook 1-2 minutes. Whisk in hot sauce.
  3. Remove from heat and whisk in cold butter cubes one at a time until smooth and glossy.
  4. Toast buns cut-side down in buttered skillet until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Gently warm lobster if needed, then fold with hot honey butter sauce to coat completely.
  6. Fill toasted buns with sauced lobster, garnish with chives, and serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

Don't overheat the sauce or butter may separate. Toss lobster with sauce just before serving to prevent it from getting tough. Use real butter for best results.
