How to Make These Easy Lobster Sushi Rolls

Ingredients

• 12 Ounces Langostino Tails (Trader Joe’s sells these!)
• ¼ Cup Greek Yogurt (non-fat plain is best in my opinion)
• 2 Tablespoons Sriracha 
• 3 Large Carrots
• 1 Avocado
• 3 Green Onions
• 1 English Cucumber
• 5 Sheets Dried Seaweed
• 10 Rice Paper Wraps
• Tamari for dipping

Step-By-Step Instructions

Start by preparing lobster mixture. You’ll want to thaw the langostino tails or lobster meat before making. If needed put them in the microwave until no longer frozen (About 2 minutes). Chop into small chunks, then combine with Greek yogurt and sriracha in a bowl. Stir until creamy and well combined. Adjust the sriracha to your preferred spice level. This creamy, spicy lobster mixture will give the rolls their signature flavor.

Thinly slice the carrots, green onions, and English cucumber into matchstick-size strips. Slice the avocado into even slices. Having your fillings ready makes the assembly so simple.

Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrap into the water for about 10 seconds, just until it softens. Be careful not to over-soak, as the wrap can tear. Lay it flat on your work surface or a bamboo mat for rolling.

Place a nori sheet on top of the softened rice paper wrap. This double layer provides structure to the roll. Spread a spoonful of the lobster mixture across the bottom third of the nori sheet. Add a few carrot slices, green onions, cucumber strips, and avocado slices on top. Sprinkle with sesame seeds for a fun little touch!

Using your hands, carefully lift the edge of the wrap closest to you. Gently roll it forward, keeping the fillings tight but not squeezing too hard. Tuck in the sides as you roll to create a neat, cylindrical shape.

If you want them sliced, ase a sharp knife to slice each roll into bite-sized pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to keep the edges clean. Drizzle with additional sriracha or soy sauce for dipping, and enjoy! 🦞

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different protein instead of lobster?
Absolutely! If lobster isn’t available, you can substitute it with crab meat, shrimp, or even cooked chicken for a different twist.

Where can I find rice paper wraps and nori sheets?
You can find rice paper wraps and nori sheets in most grocery stores, typically in the international or Asian food aisle. They’re also available at specialty Asian markets or online

Can I make these lobster sushi rolls ahead of time?
It’s best to serve these sushi rolls fresh to maintain the crisp texture of the vegetables and the softness of the rice paper. If you need to prepare them in advance, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 4 hours.

What dipping sauces pair well with these lobster sushi rolls?
These rolls taste fantastic with soy sauce, spicy mayo (a mix of avocado mayo and sriracha), or a drizzle of teriyaki sauce. For extra zest, try adding wasabi or pickled ginger on the side.

Do I need a bamboo sushi mat to make these rolls?
While a bamboo sushi mat may make rolling easier, you can roll them by hand on a clean, flat surface.

Can I freeze the lobster sushi rolls?
It’s best to enjoy these rolls freshly made.

Are these lobster sushi rolls gluten-free?
Yes! This recipe is naturally gluten-free, as it uses rice paper wraps instead of traditional sushi rice and avoids gluten-containing sauces. Just double-check the labels on your soy sauce to ensure it’s gluten-free. I use tamari to be sure they’re gluten free.

How can I adjust the spice level in this recipe?
Adjust the amount of sriracha in the lobster mixture to adjust the spice levels.

Can I use frozen lobster tails for this recipe?
Yes—frozen lobster tails work perfectly! They’re actually what I always use.

Whether you're hosting a dinner party or enjoying a quiet evening in, these side dishes and sauces will complement the fresh, bold flavors of your no-rice rolls beautifully.

Miso Soup: Warm, savory miso soup is a classic side that pairs perfectly with sushi rolls. Its light and umami-rich flavor balances the freshness of the lobster and vegetables, making it a comforting starter or side dish.

Edamame: Steamed edamame sprinkled with sea salt is a simple yet satisfying addition. The nutty, buttery flavor of the soybeans offers a lovely contrast to the spicy and creamy lobster filling in your sushi rolls.

Cucumber Salad: A crisp cucumber salad with a tangy rice vinegar dressing adds a refreshing bite to the meal. Slice cucumbers thinly and toss with sesame seeds, soy sauce, and a drizzle of honey for a light, flavorful side.
