Directions

  1. Bring 1 cup water to a boil in a steamer. Add lobster tails, steam for 3 minutes. Remove from steamer and rinse under cold water until cool enough to handle.

  2. Remove the shells and dice lobster meat into bite-sized pieces.

  3. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a 12-inch frying pan. Add 2 buns and turn to coat with butter. Toast over low heat, turning once, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with 1 tablespoon butter and remaining buns.

  4. Melt remaining 6 tablespoons butter in the same pan. Toss in lobster pieces. Cook over low heat, stirring almost constantly, for 3 minutes. Add paprika and salt, continue to stir until lobster is opaque, about 2 minutes more.

  5. Line toasted buns with lettuce. Fill with lobster. Drizzle any remaining butter on top.
