Step by step

1. 1

   Cut the lobster meat into generous chunks.

2. 2

   In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise, crème fraîche, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, chives and parsley.

3. 3

   Season with salt and black pepper, then gently fold through the lobster.

4. 4

   Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat and add the lobster mixture.

5. 5

   Warm gently for a minute or two — you don’t want to overcook the lobster.

6. 6

   Add the smoked paprika or chilli flakes and a little extra lemon juice.

7. 7

   Meanwhile, split the brioche rolls from the top and toast them in butter until golden and crisp on the outside.

8. 8

   Fill the toasted rolls generously with the warm creamy lobster, then spoon over some of the garlic butter from the pan.

9. 9

   Finish with fresh parsley, chives, a little lemon zest and a pinch of chilli.
