Thaw langostino tails in the refrigerator overnight, or thaw under cold, running water. Then drain well and pat dry.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Butter each side of the rolls. Toast in the pan until brown on each side, about 1 minute per side. Set rolls aside to cool slightly.
In the same pan, melt 6 tablespoons of butter on medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add salt, smoked paprika, lemon juice and lemon zest and sauté for 1 additional minute.
Add langostinos and cook until warmed through for 1-2 more minutes. Sprinkle with chopped chives. Toss to combine and coat the langostinos in butter.
Spoon langostino mixture evenly into rolls and drizzle with any remaining garlic butter from the pan. Top with chives and serve with a side of lemon wedges and chips.
