These are crispy, light and SCRUMPDILIOCIOUS! The delicate sweetness of the lobster paired with the simple breading is a perfect combination. They don’t take long to cook, so don’t turn away while they are frying. They are a perfect accompaniment to my shrimp and grits!
You will need:
4 lobster tails, shells off and cut into bite sized pieces
1 egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon of water added
1 to 2 tablespoons of my Cajun spice blend (see recipe under ‘Tips’) or your favorite spice blend
1 cup of flour
1 tablespoon of corn starch
Oil for frying (I use grape seed or smart balance oil)
Heat your pan over medium high heat and add the oil once the pan is hot. While the oil is heating, place your lobster in a bowl. Put the flour and corn starch in a separate bowl and whisk to combine. Season your lobster and flour/corn starch mixture with the Cajun spices. Pour the egg mixture over the lobster. Lift out the egg coated lobster and place it into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Toss to coat and fry just until golden brown (about 3-5 minutes). Drain on a paper towel and serve.
