This is my daddy’s fried lobster tail recipe. He’s a commercial fisherman, and he always finds time to make this whenever the family is together. Don’t be fooled by how simple this is — it’s one of the best recipes you’ll find!
Ingredients
- 2 cups cornmeal
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- 4 (1 pound) fresh lobster tails, cleaned and halved but still in shell
- 2 quarts oil for frying, or as needed
Directions
Step 1
Combine cornmeal, flour, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a 1-gallon resealable plastic bag; shake until well combined. Place one lobster tail half into the bag; seal and shake until fully coated, then remove to a plate. Repeat to coat remaining lobster tails.
Step 2
Heat oil in a deep fryer to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C).
Step 3
Place one coated lobster tail into the preheated oil; cook until meat turns white and coating is lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat to fry remaining lobsters.
