Salt and black pepper, to taste

Garlic Butter Sauce:
1/2 cup unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Directions:
Soak the lobster bites in buttermilk for 1530 minutes to tenderize and flavor.
In a shallow bowl, mix flour, cornmeal, paprika, cayenne if using, salt, and pepper.
Heat 12 inches of oil in a skillet or deep pan over medium-high heat to 350F 175C.
Remove lobster from buttermilk, dredge each piece in the flour mixture, coating well.
