Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lobster tails
  • 2/3 cup cup buttermilk
  • 2/3 cup cup all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 tsp Cajun creole seasoning
  • 2/3 tsp paprika
  • 2/3 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/3 tbsp butter
  • 1 1/3 garlic cloves finely minced (approx. 1 large clove)

Method
 

  1. Begin by butterflying the lobster tails: cut a lengthwise slit through the top of the shell, stopping just before the tail fins. Spread the shell open and lift out the meat, then close the shell and place the meat on top.
  2. Combine paprika and cajun creole seasoning in a small bowl. Season both sides of the lobster tails with the spice mixture. Then, mix the seasoned spices into the flour along with the baking powder.
  3. Soak the lobster tails in buttermilk for a few minutes while heating the oil to 350 degrees F.
  4. Dredge the lobster tails in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess, then fry for 3-4 minutes.
  5. While frying, melt butter in a small skillet, adding minced garlic to cook until fragrant.
  6. Serve the lobster tails with the garlic butter sauce and lemon wedges for added flavor. Enjoy your flavorful fusion dish!
