Method

Prepare Lobster Tails

  1. 1

    Season the lobster meat with salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper.

    Prepare Breading Station

    Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs mixed with milk, and one with breadcrumbs.

    Dredge each lobster tail in flour, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
