Langostino Rolls

Buttery rolls are topped with Langostino salad for a refreshing seafood main dish.

Langostino Rolls

Depending on where in the world you are located, Langostino can be a variety of things. In the United States, Langostino are typically the meat from a squat lobster, which confusingly enough isn’t actually lobster. To many people the taste is somewhere in between a lobster and a shrimp. Personally they very much remind me of crawfish, which I love.

Finding these little guys may take a bit of looking around, but I have found them at places like Costco or Trader Joe’s. They may tend to be a seasonal item as well, so if in doubt, call ahead and ask.

For this recipe we went with a classic Lobster Roll filling, which complimented the Langostino very well. Make sure to butter and toast your rolls for maximum flavor. Enjoy!

For our Langostino Roll preparation, the meat came already cooked. We defrosted the meat and after defrosting, gently squeezed the excess water out as it tends to hold onto a lot of fluid.

  1. I had no idea that Costco and Trader Joe's sold langostino. Gonna put it on the shopping list!

  2. Oh my goodness! This looks so wonderful. The one and only time I ever had a sandwich like this was on the coast. In land-locked Oklahoma we don't have Costco or Trader Joe's but I will continue to look so I can make this tasty sandwich! YUM!
