New England Lobster Rolls
Summer is the perfect excuse to make a delicious lobster roll dish either for lunch or dinner! Everyone at the jersey shore is always looking to find the best lobster rolls in town, but nothing beats a good homemade version. They are very simple to make, and truly are a beach weekend crowd pleaser!
We served these lobster rolls on a Saturday night at the beach. It was our first time trying a lobster roll recipe, and we were very pleased with the outcome. We used to get lobster rolls from a small seafood restaurant that me and my brother worked at during the summers at the shore when we were younger. However, those most definitely did not compare to our homemade ones! It is safe to say will be continuing to make our own because they were too delicious!
