Langostino Lobster Salad

Langostino Lobster Salad

If you’re craving something luxurious yet incredibly easy, this Langostino Lobster Salad is about to become your new obsession. Tender, sweet langostino is folded into a creamy, bright dressing that tastes like summer in every bite. Whether you pile it into a toasted buttery roll or enjoy it by the spoonful straight from the bowl, this dish delivers pure coastal comfort with zero fuss.

Ingredients:

For the Salad:

• 1-pound langostino, CLEANED and chopped (fine for use with crackers, larger if making a lobster-type roll)

• 2-3 stalks celery, finely chopped

For the Dressing:

• ½ cup mayonnaise

• 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice (I prefer more lemon for a zestier flavor)

• 1 ½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or more to taste

• 1 teaspoon sweet (not smokey) paprika (plus a little more to top with before serving)

• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Worcestershire, garlic, parsley, and paprika.

2. Combine: After you thoroughly clean and devein the langostinos, add the langostino and chopped celery to the dressing. Gently fold until evenly coated.

3. Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.

4. Serve: Enjoy as a salad for crackers, or spoon into warm, toasted rolls for a lobster-style sandwich.
