This is actually one of my daddy's recipes. He's a commercial fisherman, but he finds time to make this whenever the family is together. But don't be fooled this simple recipe is one of the best out there.
Ingredients:
2 cups cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
4 pounds fresh lobster tails, cleaned and halved but still in shell
2 quarts oil for deep frying
Directions:
1. In a gallon sized plastic closeable bag combine, cornmeal, flour, salt, pepper, cayenne, garlic powder and onion powder. Shake well. Place one half of a lobster tail at a time in to the bag. Shake to coat the tails completely.
2. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large skilled to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C). Place one coated lobster tail at a time into the oil. Cook until the lobster turns white and the coating is lightly browned. Let the fried tails dry on paper towels.
