# Gluten-Free Lobster Rolls This Recipe for Lobster Rolls Caters to Those with Diet Restrictions By Malika Renee Butss | Published 2015-05-25 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lobster-rolls References: [foodrepublic](http://www.foodrepublic.com/2015/04/14/because-world-needs-gluten-free-lobster-roll-recip) Inspired by Ina Garten’s Lobster Cobb Salad Rolls, these Lobster Rolls contain gluten-free ingredients to appeal to a wider audience. Taken from the 'Against the Grain' cookbook, this recipe requires zero baking and a fairly easy preparation. In place of a baked and breaded exterior, these lobster rolls are coated with rice-paper rounds. Rice-paper rounds -- commonly known as spring-roll wraps -- are a prepackaged ingredient that only demand a bowl of hot water to be cooked. When the lobster has been stuffed into the rice-paper, these rolls make the perfect addition to any salad or steak dish. Gluten-free Lobster Rolls are found to be healthier than the traditional dish with nutritional benefits steaming from the rice-paper. However, the rolls still taste just as good. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 12% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Gluten-free Foods:** Opportunity for companies to develop and market more gluten-free alternatives to appeal to a wider audience. - **Alternative Ingredients:** Companies can explore using alternative ingredients such as rice-paper rounds to create innovative and gluten-free versions of traditional dishes. - **Health-conscious Dining:** Restaurants and food services can cater to the growing demand for healthier options by offering gluten-free alternatives like these Lobster Rolls. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food and Beverage:** Opportunity for the food and beverage industry to develop and market gluten-free products and alternative ingredients. - **Restaurant and Hospitality:** Restaurants can attract health-conscious customers by including gluten-free options like these Lobster Rolls on their menus. - **Cookbook and Recipe Development:** Cookbook authors and recipe developers can create innovative recipes using alternative ingredients to cater to individuals with dietary restrictions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Gluten-Free Sweet Rolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/briochestyle-sweet-rolls.md) - [Gluten-Free Sushi Rolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glutenfree-sushi.md) - [Lobster Roll Wedding Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lobster-roll-wedding-cakes.md) - [Seasonal Lobster Roll Specials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maine-style-lobster-roll.md) - [Gluten-Free Breaded Shrimps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gluten-free-breaded-shrimp.md) - [Local Lobster Roll Salads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lukes-lobster-roll-salad.md) - [Savory Lobster Salad Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lobster-roll-blt.md) - [$1,000 Lobster Roll Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lobster-roll-kit.md) - [Viral Grilled Lobster Tail Recipes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grilled-lobster-tail.md)
