Making lobster rolls is a lot more fun and even easier than you might think with this recipe by Holly Nilsson, which uses any part of the lobster because, in the end, "you can't go wrong."
‘Tis the season for lobster rolls.
All the better if you’re making these tasty sandwiches with your loved ones, as claw-o-vores of all stripes love the process of making this simple and satisfying meal from scratch at a summer cookout.
Holly Nilsson, founder of SpendwithPennies.com and author of the book "Everyday Comfort," shared that her succulent rendition of the classic summertime recipe was inspired by her husband's love of a good lobster roll and the many they have enjoyed during their years of travel.

"While we usually prefer using claw and knuckle meat, I find that tail meat is more accessible and works well in this recipe," she said.
"However, any part of the lobster can be used — you can’t go wrong!"
The food blogger and cookbook author likes to serve lobster rolls "with a big scoop of coleslaw" and a side of chips to complete the meal.
