Unique and tasty

Serves 6
Ingredients
-
15 Florida lobster tails (shells removed)
-
3 cups Gold Medal Wondra Quick Mixing Flour or sifted flour
-
6 tablespoons Everglades Seasoning
-
6 tablespoons Everglades Heat Seasoning
-
Sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
-
Canola or vegetable oil for frying
Directions
-
Cut tails lengthwise in half. Kitchen shears work well. Slice each half into 4-5 chunks, depending on the size of the tail. Set aside.
-
Combine Wondra, Everglades seasonings, salt and pepper. Add lobster pieces and toss. Chill 30 minutes.
-
Pour 3-4 inches of oil into a large saucepan or Dutch oven. Heat on high to 375 degrees or until oil begins to pop. Reduce to medium and add 10-15 lobster pieces at a time. Turn often with slotted spoon 4-5 minutes until golden brown. Remove, insert toothpicks and serve immediately. Continue cooking in batches. Makes about 10-servings.
-
Optional skewer method: After slicing each tail lengthwise in half, insert skewer down the middle of each piece and proceed. These will cook in 4-5 minutes.
Enjoy your Fried Lobster!
