Creamy Cajun Lobster Rolls 🦞🔥

Introduction

These Creamy Cajun Lobster Rolls take the classic New England favorite and give it a bold Southern twist. Tender lobster meat is coated in a zesty, smoky Cajun sauce, then piled high into buttery, toasted split-top buns. They’re rich, creamy, a little spicy, and completely indulgent—perfect for a quick gourmet lunch, a special weekend dinner, or anytime you want restaurant-level seafood at home without the fuss.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb cooked lobster meat (claw, knuckle, or tail), chopped into bite-size pieces
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp sour cream
  • 1 tsp Cajun seasoning
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 New England–style split-top hot dog buns
  • 1 tbsp melted butter, for toasting the buns

Directions

  1. Make the Creamy Cajun Sauce
    In a bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice until smooth and well combined. The sauce should be creamy with a subtle kick and smoky warmth.
  2. Coat the Lobster
    Gently fold the chopped lobster meat and parsley into the sauce, being careful not to break up the lobster too much. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Chill for a few minutes if you prefer a cooler, more classic lobster roll filling.
  3. Toast the Buns
    Brush the inside of each split-top bun with melted butter. Toast in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown and lightly crisp on the edges. This step adds rich flavor and the perfect texture contrast.
  4. Assemble the Rolls
    Generously fill each toasted bun with the creamy Cajun lobster mixture, letting it mound slightly over the top for that irresistible, loaded look.
  5. Finish & Serve
    Sprinkle with a little extra parsley for freshness and color. Serve immediately while the buns are warm and buttery.
