Deep Fried Lobster Tails

Deep Fried Lobster Tails


I'm crazy about lobster. Here's a recipe where you dip your lobster tails in a batter and deep fry it, locking all the juicy, sweetness of the lobster inside! This was such a wonderful way to prepare lobster! Since I'm in South Dakota it's hard to find fresh seafood, but we found these beautiful lobster tails at Sam's Club. They were delicious! I served them on a bed of Asian Slaw.
Here's all you need! Just equal parts of all purpose flour, rice flour, a pinch of baking soda and a cup of 7up! Oh, and a couple of lobster tails!
To butterfly the tails, simply take your kitchen shears, and cut down the middle of the shell, starting at the opposite end of the tail....but stop cutting just before you reach the tail.
Gently pull the shell apart and pull the meat up and over the shell, resting the meat on top of the shell.
It should look something like this!
Whisk 1/2 cup each of the rice flour and all purpose flour together, with a pinch of baking soda, and 1 cup of 7UP. Mix well.
Dip the lobster in the batter, making sure to get the batter all over and under the meat.
And now it's all battered up and ready for the hot fryer!
It only takes about 5 minutes! Fry to a nice golden color!
And here is the finished product! SO YUMMY! Serve with clarified butter.
This would be a wonderful dish to prepare for Valentines Day! It's so decadent and special!
