INGREDIENTS
2 cups Cornmeal
1/2 cup flour
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
1 teaspoon Paprika
1 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 teaspoon Onion Powder
4 lbs Lobster Tails, cleaned in the shell
2 quarts oil for deep-frying
How to make Southern Deep Fried Lobster
Step 1: Combine the cornmeal, flour, salt, pepper, cayenne, garlic powder, and onion powder in a gallon-sized ziplock bag. Make sure to shake well.
Step 2: To clean the lobster, keep the tail in the shell. Once the lobster is cleaned, set aside.
Step 3: In a deep fryer or large deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil until it reaches 356 degrees.
Step 4: Meanwhile, place half of the cleaned lobster tails in the ziplock. Shake well so the tails will be completely coated.
Step 5: Then, remove the tails from the bag and transfer them on a rack over a tray to catch the drippings. Repeat the same step for the rest of the lobster tails.
Step 6: Deep fry the lobster tail for approximately 4 minutes one or until lightly brown. Fry the tails one at a time and transfer the tails on paper towels to dry.
