Instructions
- Clean and wash your lobster, then pat dry.
- 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.
- In a small bowl, mix together all the ingredients for the remoulade until smooth. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, cornstarch, and the same seasoning used for the remoulade. Mix until well combined.
- 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.
- Heat oil and fry lobster pieces for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on a wire rack.
- While the lobster is frying, add garlic butter to your bread and bake in the oven until slightly toasted.
- 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.
