Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup lobster meat fresh or frozen, thawed and patted dry
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs use gluten-free if needed
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup butter divided for frying and sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic minced

Equipment

  • Frying pan
  • Shallow bowl
  • knife
  • cutting board

Method
 

  1. Chop the lobster meat into uniform bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch cubes.
  2. Beat the egg thoroughly in a shallow bowl until well combined.
  3. Season lobster pieces with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Dip each lobster piece in the beaten egg, letting excess drip off, then press into panko breadcrumbs to coat all sides.
  5. Heat 3 tablespoons of butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  6. Place coated lobster bites in the pan without overcrowding, and fry for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  7. Transfer fried lobster bites to a serving plate.
  8. Add remaining butter to the same pan and sauté minced garlic for 30 to 60 seconds until fragrant.
  9. Drizzle the garlic butter sauce over the crispy lobster bites and serve immediately.

Notes

Serve immediately for best texture. Best paired with a fresh salad or pasta for a complete meal. Use fresh lobster meat for optimal flavor. Ensure oil is hot before frying to achieve maximum crispiness.
