Langostino is the Spanish name for little lobster or squat lobster, they have a tender texture and delicate flavor. I buy them at Trader Joe’s from the freezer isle then defrost them in the fridge overnight. They’re the perfect cheap substitute for standard lobster in lobster rolls. These are also super quick and easy to make, I threw this together for lunch in 10 minutes. Trader Joe’s has brioche hot dog buns that are perfect for lobster rolls, you can also use New England style hot dog buns. Watch my 25-second Instagram recipe video here
