Description

Crispy Lobster Bites with Garlic Butter Sauce are divine!


Ingredients

  • 1 pound lobster meat, cooked and chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  2. In another bowl, beat the eggs.
  3. Place the breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
  4. Dip each lobster piece first into the flour mixture, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
  5. In a large skillet, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  6. Carefully add the lobster bites in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  7. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  8. For the garlic butter sauce, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  9. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  10. Stir in the parsley, lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper.
  11. Serve the crispy lobster bites hot with the garlic butter sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the flour mixture.
  • Try substituting the lobster with shrimp or crab for a different seafood flavor.
