Lobster Tail

Honey Butter

Method

Preparing Lobster Tails

  1. 1

    Prepare Lobster Tails

    Start by thawing the lobster tails if they are frozen. Use kitchen scissors to cut down the back of the shell and gently pull the lobster meat out, leaving it attached at the base. Lay the meat on top of the shell.

  2. 2

    Season the Lobster

    In a bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each lobster tail in the mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated.

Frying Process

  1. 3

    Prepare the Breading Station

    In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Dip the coated lobster tails into the egg mixture, then back into the flour mixture for a second coating.

  2. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or frying pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  3. 5

    Fry the Lobster Tails

    Carefully place the lobster tails in the hot oil, frying for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Remove them and place on paper towels to drain the excess oil.

Making Honey Butter

  1. 6

    Prepare Honey Butter

    In a small bowl, soften the unsalted butter. Mix in honey and a pinch of salt until well combined. Set aside.

Making Lavender Salt

  1. 7

    Prepare Lavender Salt

    In a small bowl, combine sea salt and dried lavender flowers. Mix well and set aside.

Serving

  1. 8

    Plate and Serve

    Serve the fried lobster tails hot, drizzled with honey butter and sprinkled with lavender salt. Enjoy your delicious fried lobster tails!
