Garlic Butter Crab or Lobster Rolls

Garlic Butter Crab or Lobster Rolls

A coastal classic, elevated with savory garlic & butter gravy

Few things feel more indulgent than a warm crab or lobster roll. Sweet, tender seafood. A buttery toasted bun. Simple garnishes that let the flavors shine.

This version takes the classic roll and elevates it with Le Sauce & Co. Savory Garlic & Butter Gourmet Sauce — replacing plain melted butter with a rich, garlicky gravy that clings to every bite. The result is luxurious without being heavy, and bold without overpowering the delicate seafood.

Perfect for summer entertaining, date nights at home, or anytime you want restaurant-quality flavor without the restaurant price tag.

Why Garlic Butter Gravy Works with Crab & Lobster

Crab and lobster are naturally sweet and delicate. The savory garlic butter gravy:

• Enhances the seafood’s natural richness

• Adds depth and warmth without masking flavor

• Creates a glossy, indulgent coating

It’s familiar, but better — the kind of upgrade you’ll crave again and again.
