Instructions

  1. Clean and wash your lobster, then pat dry.
  2. Cut the lobster into bite-sized pieces and place them in a bowl. Add buttermilk, hot sauce, and Cajun seasoning. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together all the ingredients for the remoulade until smooth. Set aside.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, cornstarch, and the same seasoning used for the remoulade. Mix until well combined.
  5. Remove the lobster from the buttermilk mixture and coat each piece in the dry batter, pressing lightly to ensure it sticks. Tap off excess flour and place on a baking sheet. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes to help the coating stick when frying.
  6. Heat oil and fry lobster pieces for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on a wire rack.
  7. While the lobster is frying, add garlic butter to your bread and bake in the oven until slightly toasted.
  8. Spread remoulade on the bread and layer on lettuce, tomatoes, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Pile on the crispy lobster. Drizzle with more remoulade on top and enjoy.
