Ingredients
- Crab meat
- 1 cup, cooked and shredded
- Lobster meat
- 1 cup, cooked and chopped
- Mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup
- Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon
- Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed

Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the crab meat, lobster meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, chives, salt, and pepper. Mix carefully to keep the seafood intact and flavorful.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, place the hot dog buns in the skillet, cut side down, and toast until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
- To prevent the buns from getting soggy, place a lettuce leaf inside each toasted bun as a barrier.
- Generously spoon the crab and lobster mixture into each toasted bun, ensuring an even distribution.
- Top each roll with a few slices of fresh tomato for added flavor and freshness.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures that make this gourmet seafood roll truly special!
Tips
- For an extra kick, add a few dashes of hot sauce to the seafood mixture.
- Feel free to substitute the crab or lobster with your favorite seafood or even a mix of shrimp and scallops for a different flavor profile.
- Serving these rolls with a side of crispy potato chips or a light salad makes for a perfect meal.
