If using whole lobsters, steam them for about 15-20 minutes until fully cooked. For precooked lobster, simply thaw if frozen and skip to the next step.
In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, freshly cracked black pepper, and optional spices. Let the flavors meld for about 5 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, combine the lobster meat and garlic butter mixture. Gently toss to ensure every piece is coated evenly. Add the chopped green onions for an extra crunch and burst of flavor.
Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Lightly spread butter over the outsides of the hoagie rolls and toast each side in the skillet until golden brown and crispy.
Place fresh lettuce leaves inside the toasted rolls, then generously fill each roll with the garlic butter lobster mixture.
Serve the lobster rolls immediately, paired with crispy fries or a simple salad for a balanced meal.
