Filling
1 lb cooked lobster meat, chopped into bite-sized pieces
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1/4 cup green onions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup red bell pepper, finely diced
2 tbsp celery, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp butter
1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
Salt and black pepper to taste
Egg Rolls
8 egg roll wrappers
1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
Vegetable oil for frying
Garlic Butter Drizzle
4 tbsp butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 tsp lemon juice
Signature Cajun Aioli
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp sour cream
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp Cajun seasoning
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp hot sauce
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
1. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the celery, bell pepper, and garlic for 2–3 minutes until tender.
2. Stir in the Old Bay, paprika, onion powder, cayenne, and lemon juice.
3. Remove from the heat and gently fold in the lobster, cream cheese, mozzarella, Monterey Jack, and green onions. Allow the mixture to cool.
4. Place an egg roll wrapper in a diamond position. Spoon about 1/3 cup of filling near the bottom corner.
5. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in the sides, roll tightly, and seal the edge with beaten egg.
6. Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) and fry the egg rolls for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
7. Drain on paper towels.
Garlic Butter
Melt the butter, add the garlic, and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the parsley and lemon juice. Brush or drizzle over the hot egg rolls just before serving.
Cajun Aioli
Whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, Cajun seasoning, lemon juice, hot sauce, and garlic powder until smooth. Chill for at least 15 minutes before serving.
Serving Suggestion
Serve the lobster egg rolls hot with the Cajun aioli for dipping and a light drizzle of garlic butter. Garnish with chopped parsley, sliced green onions, and a lemon wedge.
