Ingredients
Scale
- 3 lobster tails
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Thaw lobster tails if frozen. Use kitchen scissors to cut down the center of each shell, exposing the meat while keeping it attached at the base.
- In a bowl, mix buttermilk and Old Bay seasoning. Submerge lobster tails in this mixture and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- In another bowl, add flour. Remove lobster tails from the buttermilk, letting excess drip off, then dredge in flour until fully coated.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the coated lobster tails for about 4-6 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Drain on paper towels and serve immediately with dipping sauces or sides.
