4 split-top brioche hot dog buns, sides trimmed off

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
# Steps:
01 -
Thoroughly drain langostino lobster and pat dry using paper towels to remove any excess moisture.

In a large mixing bowl, blend together mayonnaise, diced celery, chives, lemon juice, lemon zest, kosher salt, and black pepper until evenly combined.
03 -
Gently fold in the prepared langostino lobster until all pieces are uniformly coated. Cover and chill mixture if desired to allow flavors to meld.
04 -
Heat half of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Position buns cut-side down and toast until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining butter and buns as needed.
05 -
Generously fill each toasted bun with the chilled langostino mixture. Top with additional chives and a light sprinkling of lemon zest if desired. Serve immediately.
# Notes:

Langostino offers a sweet, delicate flavor reminiscent of lobster, making it an excellent alternative for classic rolls without using whole lobster tails.
