Ingredients

Langostino Salad:

12 ounces langostino tails (thawed, if purchased frozen) See Recipe notes “frozen langostino tails”
¼ cup mayonnaise, divided
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives

Toasted Buns:

4 split-top hot dog buns I use brioche buns
1 tablespoon softened butter Or use olive oil or ghee
½ teaspoon garlic powder

Garlic Dipping Sauce (optional):

¼ cup mayonnaise Or use half mayo, half plain yogurt
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon lemon juice
pinch sea salt

Instructions

Pat the langostino dry. (Make sure the langostino is fully thawed and very well dried, otherwise your lobster salad may be watery.)
Mix together the lobster, half the mayonnaise and the chives. Continue adding more mayonnaise until the lobster is lightly coated.
In a separate bowl, stir together garlic sauce ingredients, if making, and set aside.
Spread the softened butter on both sides of the buns. Sprinkle garlic powder lightly over the buttered bread.
Toast in a pan over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until both sides of the buns are golden and warm.
Add the lobster salad to the toasted buns, and serve right away with the garlic sauce (if using).

Notes

Frozen langostino tails: If langostino tails are purchased frozen, they are very likely already cooked (check the package information). You can simply thaw the langostino before using.
