Chicken Fried Lobster

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lobster

    Boil the lobster tails in salted water for 5-7 minutes until cooked. Remove from water, let cool, and extract the meat.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Breading

    In three separate bowls, place flour mixed with salt and pepper, buttermilk with beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Lobster

    Dip each lobster tail in flour, then in the buttermilk mixture, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs. Ensure they are well coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Lobster

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the lobster tails for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Make the Lemon Caper Beurre Blanc

    In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add lemon juice and capers, whisking continuously until emulsified. Season with salt to taste.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Plate the chicken fried lobster with a side of mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables. Drizzle the lemon caper beurre blanc over the lobster.
