GRILLED SOUTHWESTERN LOBSTER ROLLS

Steps:

• Make the habanero butter: Combine the butter, garlic, habanero, shallot and capers in a small saucepan over medium heat; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook until the shallot is translucent, about 5 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the wine; add the lime zest and juice and cook until the wine has reduced and the pan is almost dry, about 4 minutes. Divide the butter between 2 small bowls; set aside.
• Make the garlic butter: Combine the butter and garlic in a separate small saucepan over medium heat; cook until the garlic is soft and fragrant, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the parsley and mix well. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
• Make the cilantro-lime slaw: Combine the mayonnaise, buttermilk, cilantro and lime zest and juice in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper and whisk to combine. Add the cabbage and mix well to coat. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Make the lobster rolls: Preheat a grill to medium high; oil the grates. Brush the lobster meat with half of the habanero butter. Place shell-side down on the grill. Cook 3 minutes, then flip the lobsters and cook until the tails are curled and the meat is opaque, 4 to 6 more minutes. Remove from the grill and set aside to cool slightly. Remove the meat from the shells and roughly chop; toss with the remaining habanero butter.
• Brush the hot dog buns with the garlic butter. Grill until golden and crisp, about 30 seconds. Fill the rolls with avocado, tomato, the lobster and slaw.

Cook for 3 minutes, flip the lobster over, baste liberally with more habanero butter and allow the tails to cook in the butter and their own juices until the tails are curled and the meat is opaque, 4 to 6 minutes more. Remove from the grill and reserve to the side.

BUTTER-POACHED LOBSTER ROLLS WITH CELERY FENNEL SLAW

PERFECT LOBSTER ROLL

Steps:

• Steam Lobster: In a large pot lined with a steamer basket, bring 1 inch of water to a boil. Drop the lobsters headfirst into the pot and cover. Reduce heat to a simmer and steam until the shells just turn bright red, 12 to 14 minutes. To check for doneness, pull on an antenna; if it releases from the shell with little resistance, the lobster is properly cooked. (Many seafood markets will do the steaming for you -- just ask.)
• Extract Meat: Hold the tail in one hand and the body in the other; twist and pull to separate. For claws and legs, twist and pull where they're attached to the body. Use lobster- or nutcrackers or a mallet to crack the shells. To get all the meat out in one swift motion, insert a fork into the underside of the tail and push up. Then chop into bite-size pieces.
• Mix, Toast, and Fill: In a bowl, stir together mayonnaise, lemon juice, and salt. Fold in chopped lobster meat. Heat a large skillet (preferably cast-iron) over medium. Generously brush top and sides of buns with butter. (Top-split are narrower than side-split, so you get a greater ratio of lobster to bread.) Place buns, flat-side down, in skillet and toast, flipping halfway through, until crisp and golden on both sides, about 3 minutes. Divide lobster meat among buns and serve, with lemon wedges and potato chips.
