1 heaping teaspoon of creme fraiche

On high heat, heat up a few inches of water and place a steamer basket inside the pot.

stick a skewer through the lobster tails. This prevents it from curling up when steaming.

Lightly toast the hotdog buns on both sides in butter. Don't get skimpy. Fill each bun with lobster salad mixture and enjoy!
