Ingredients
Brown Butter Hollandaise:
8 ounces (2 sticks) butter
6 egg yolks
4 to 6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Pinch cayenne
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pinch ground pepper
Tempura:
Oil, for frying
2 quarts all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons seafood boil seasoning, such as Old Bay
Salt and ground pepper
Soda water and/or beer
7 ounces fresh picked cooked Maine lobster meat
Lobster Roll:
2 brioche buns
Shredded lettuce, for topping
Chopped cooked bacon, for topping
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Directions
- For the brown butter hollandaise: In a small saucepan, melt butter. Allow butter to continue cooking at a very low simmer until the solids fall to the bottom and the rest of the butter gets browned with a very nutty aroma. Turn off heat and set aside.
- In a double boiler, whisk together yolks and lemon juice. Slowly whisk in melted butter until smooth and creamy, about 10 minutes. Season with cayenne, salt and pepper.
- For the tempura: Bring oil to 350 degrees F in a deep-fryer or Dutch oven. Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, seafood seasoning and some salt and pepper, then whisk in enough soda water and/or beer to make a batter.
- Divide the lobster meat into two and thread a portion onto each of 2 skewers. Coat in tempura batter. Fry the lobster until golden, about 2 minutes.
- For the lobster roll: Toast brioche buns on both sides. Add lettuce to buns. Place a lobster skewer on a bun, then pull out the skewer. Repeat with remaining skewer and bun. Drizzle 2 ounces hollandaise over each bun. Top each with bacon. Garnish with parsley.
