Ingredients

🦞 3 oz lobster tail per serving
🥛 1 cup buttermilk
🥚 1 egg
🌾 1 cup all-purpose flour
🐟 1 cup fish fry mix
🌶️ 1 teaspoon paprika
🧄 1 teaspoon garlic powder
🧅 1 teaspoon onion powder
🌿 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
🌶️ 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
🌶️ 1/2 teaspoon chili seasoning
🧂 Salt and pepper to taste
🥄 Oil for frying

Instructions

1- Prep the Lobster:

Begin by cleaning the lobster tail.
Use kitchen scissors to cut through the top shell, exposing the meat.
Gently pull the meat up, splitting it slightly to butterfly the tail.

2- Marinate:

Combine the buttermilk and egg in a bowl, whisking until well mixed.
Submerge lobster tails in the buttermilk mixture for 10–15 minutes.

3- Mix the Dry Ingredients:

In a separate bowl, combine flour, fish fry mix, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, Cajun seasoning, chili seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Mix well to ensure an even coating.

4- Coat the Lobster:

Remove lobster tails from the buttermilk mixture, allowing excess to drip off.
Dredge them in the dry mixture for a thorough and even coating.

5- Heat the Oil:

In a deep skillet or fryer, heat oil to 350°F (175°C).

6- Fry the Lobster Tails:

Place coated lobster tails into the hot oil.
Fry for about 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C).

7- Serve:

Remove from oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Garnish with extra parsley if desired and serve with your favorite dipping sauce or lemon wedges.
