Lobster is a highly prized seafood that's commonly served boiled or steamed in the shell. For this lobster roll dip recipe, you will need 8 ounces of cooked lobster. Some stores sell cooked, picked lobster meat, but you can also cook it yourself. There are many ways to cook lobster—you can steam, bake, broil, boil or grill it.

What to Serve with Lobster Roll Dip

This lobster roll dip is perfect for slathering on slices of baguette, crackers and fresh veggies like sliced bell peppers or Belgian endive leaves. If you have leftovers, stuff mushrooms with the lobster dip for a delicious appetizer or add some to homemade macaroni and cheese!

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
