Ingredients
- 4 whole Lobster tails
- 2 cups All purpose flour
- 2 cups Yellow Cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Old bay seasoning plus more for boiling water
- 3 cups Buttermilk
- 1 can Cream style corn
- 4 cloves Garlic grated
- 1/2 cup Onion grated
- Salt to taste
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Add water to a large pot, enough water to submerge the lobster tails. Season the water with about 1 tablespoon of Old Bay seasoning, and bring the water to a rapid boil.
- Pierce a skewer directly through the bottom of the lobster tail, all the way to the top. This is to keep the tails from curling up.
- Gently place the lobster tails into the boiling water and allow them to cook for 4-5 minutes. Remove them right away and place them in an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
- Allow the lobster tails to rest for about 2 minutes, then remove the skewer from them. Deshell the lobster by pressing the inner part with your thumbs and peeling the shell away from the meat.
- Alternatively, you can use kitchen shears to gently cut the shell away from the lobster meat. Be careful not to cut into the meat.
- Once the meat is separated from the shell, just set it to the side while you prepare the batter.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking soda, baking powder, cayenne pepper, old bay, and smoked paprika.
- Now in a separate bowl combine the buttermilk, corn, grated garlic, grated onions, and honey. Stir this mixture up until everything is combined.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir until everything is mixed well. Lumps are okay.
- Preheat the oil in a deep fryer or cast iron skillet to 350°F. While the oil is heating up, pierce the lobster meat with a skewer, from the bottom to the top.
- Dip one skewer at a time, into the batter and make sure they are fully coated. Lower the lobster into the hot oil and fry for 5 minutes, or until it is golden brown. Remove the lobster from the oil and set it on a cooling rack or bed of paper towels to drain the excess grease.
- Repeat the batter and frying process until all of the lobster corn dogs are made. Sprinkle a little bit of salt on the lobster once it comes out of the oil.
