Ingredients
    For the Langostino Filling
  • 450 g cooked langostino meat (chopped into bite-sized pieces)
  • 3 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tbsp fresh chives (finely chopped)
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley (finely chopped)
  • 0.5 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 0.25 tsp paprika (optional, for mild warmth)
    • For the Rolls
  • 4 soft hot dog rolls or brioche-style rolls
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (softened)
    • Optional Add-Ins
  • 1 small celery stalk (very finely diced)
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder (optional)
Instructions
    Prepare the Langostino Meat
  1. 1
    If your langostino meat is frozen, thaw it completely and gently pat it dry using a paper towel. Chop into medium chunks, keeping the texture intact for a juicy bite.
    2. Mix the Dressing
  2. 2

    In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir until smooth and well blended.

    3. Combine the Filling
  3. 3
    Add the chopped langostino meat, chives, parsley, and optional celery to the dressing. Gently fold everything together so the seafood stays tender and evenly coated. Let it rest for 5 minutes to allow flavors to come together.
    4. Toast the Rolls
  4. 4
    Lightly butter the outer sides of each roll. Heat a pan over medium heat or place them in a preheated oven at 170°C. Toast until golden brown and lightly crisp on the outside while staying soft inside.
    5. Assemble the Rolls
  5. 5
    Open each toasted roll and generously spoon the langostino mixture inside. Avoid overfilling so the rolls remain easy to hold and eat.
    6. Serve Immediately
  6. 6
    Serve warm rolls right away for the best texture and flavor, optionally with lemon wedges on the side
Note
  • Always use mayonnaise or homemade mayo with lemon juice instead of vinegar.
  • Do not overmix the langostino, as it can break apart and lose texture.
  • Best enjoyed fresh, but the filling can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours in an airtight container.
  • You can serve the filling over lettuce for a low-carb option.
