Is anyone going to read this post if I type one up? Or will you just glance on by and get right to the photos? I mean when I served this to my hubby and started talking he didn't hear a word I said. He was gone--transfixed to another foodie planet......
OK, I'll make it quick. Living on cape cod there is an abundance of scallops and lobster. One can get quite sick of it. Yes, it does happen. Thankfully lobster and scallops are a very mild but sweet protein with which the pairing possibilities are endless. Remember my lobster salad with spicy adobo-mayo? That was my favorite. I made it with you in mind: you know quick, easy, but really packs a flavor-punch. See I'm always thinking of you; I know you want to cook, your tastebuds are craving some real flavors, textures and such, but some nights you just don't want to do a lot of prepping--you want to eat now. I hear you. A lot of days I do not want to take an hour or more to prep and cook dinner, especially in the heat of the summer, which is coming soon btw. I give you this tasty lobster-tarragon on a BLT. It's so easy to prepare, has a few flavors going on here and will definitely wow your family, friends or guests. I mean it wowed you right? See, then you can do it too.
tarragon-lobster BLT
print recipe
(this recipe is enough for 3 good sized lobster rolls)
1 lb of fresh lobster meat
Couple tablespoons of lemon juice (optional)
2-3 TB Hellmans mayo (you don’t want a lot of mayo)
3 TB fresh tarragon, chopped
Salt & pepper to taste, if needed (I used pepper only)
6-9 Cooked bacon slices (about 2-3 slices per roll)
Sliced tomatoes
Fresh lettuce
3 jumbo rolls, buttered and toasted/grilled
Chop up lobster meat, sprinkle with lemon juice. Set in fridge until ready to use.
In separate bowl mix the mayo, tarragon and pepper. Mix and let it chill in fridge a bit to let the tarragon seep into the mayo (about 20 mins or longer if you can).
Get your buns buttered and grill them till nice and golden brown (I forgot this step this time). You can also toast or fry them if no grill.
When ready to serve, take the lobster chunks and mix them with the tarragon mayo, stir well. Then take toasted bun, fill with lettuce, tomato, bacon, then the lobster salad.
Serve with potato chips or fries.

Sorry.... were you writing? I was not reading...
Excuse me while I got get a towel for the drool on my keyboard.
Oh my gosh! That looks amazing. I am now ravenously hungry and trust me when I admit that my lunch will look absolutely nothing like that!
I always wish I had cherished my NE lobster days more! So good, so fresh, so not as expensive as it is down in SC! I've actually never had a lobster roll or sandwich. I always stuck with plain ole lobster. Maybe I was missing out!
I think I need to move back to New England for some good lobster. Or just move in with you. I'll bake you brownies every day. AND do the dishes. I swear it. You just promise that we can eat lobster-tarragon sandwiches. Um. All the time.
food porn daily - where are you? here is your next entry!

Damn you woman. I have been craving a lobster roll for weeks now and this definitely is NOT helping!
I didnt hear a word you were saying.....
ok, that looks amazing! i do not get good lobster often enough
We definitely don't eat lobster a lot, so when it's around, it's a huge treat. Those rolls? Amazing! The tarragon's a nice herb to choose.
gimme, gimme, gimme! Oh man, I cannot wait until we go to Cape Cod this summer. We are going to have a lobster feast!! This looks YUMMY!
Get sick of lobsters and scallops???!! Oh my, never in my life, what a lovely treat it must be to have these in abundance! I love your photos, you're wicked, you are tempting us with your delicious-scrumptious-appetizing-to-die-for photos of the lobster which is so expensive in our countries!!! I know what I should do, I should migrate to the Cape Cod someday.....and live my life with the lobsters and scallops...what a lovely life!:D
ah-mazing.
I was wowed by the photos, but I promise I read the words too!
I see that you are still up to your wicked ways! But you know what? I won't have it any other way. Go on, torture me :)
Hmm, I wonder how this would ship to LA...
A feast for all the senses -- can't wait to try it out. Bravo.
Dang! These are seriously delicious sounding (and looking!!!)!
I did read the post. Although I had to try too hard not to jump straight to the pictures. Lobster and bacon, now I know what heaven looks like :D
i love you. and I'm not ashamed to admit it. <3!
If I could dive into this lobster BLT I would. Really. Looks amazing!!
I'm drooling Dawn - looks amazing! And, haha, my hubby stops talking too when he's really into something :)
Usually I have my lobster naked, LOL, but I do enjoy a good lobster roll and I like how you've jazzed it up!
I'm a MA girl, and we spend most of our time in Maine, so you can imagine how good the lobsters are! We had scallops for dinner last night baked in panko bread crumbs . . . can you say delicious!
Just wanted to let you know, I love how you enhanced this sandwich and I'll be trying it soon. So true what you said about getting tired of lobster and scallops! LOL!!!
I'm your newest Follower, stop by when you have a moment. New friends are always welcome. Plus you can have a slice of my recently posted banana bread!
Drooling over this, I love lobster.
oh my gosh - this looks incredible! i've never ever had a lobster roll but this seems like an amazing twist on one!
This is my first visit to your blog and it is just beautiful. The pictures are outstanding. Your recipes sound delicious. I hope that you will visit my blog too. Blessings, Catherine

The first picture is amazing!! drooling here!! yum
sweetlife
This is the ultimate BLT. Holy cow it looks incredible!
Well, your photos are divine, so no wonder we look at them first! Besides, I often wonder how many people read my entire blog word for word.
Anyway....we don't use tarragon nearly enough. It sounds perfect with the seafood.
Oh man that makes me wish I live on the East Coast instead of No Coast ;)
That looks delicious! I had my first lobster of the season this weekend while visiting my parents in NH!
These look fab - I live in the bahamas where lobster costs less than cauliflower so this is soooo on the list! Plus i've been wondering how I can get more bacon into my diet ;0)
Holy #@%$! You truly have me drooling with this one... You have no idea how much I want this! Right. Now.
Now that's a Lobster Roll! Makes me want to hop a plane right now and head to Cape Cod. Wow! ...Susan
i love you.
Good Gracious! Yum! Yum! Yum!
This would be a decadent and amazing sandwich!
To die for! Tarragon is such a lovely herb. It pairs perfectly with lobster. I can't stop drooling...
Cheers,
Rosa
