Ingredients:
For the Lobster Bites:
1 lb lobster tail meat, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup all-purpose flour
cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon paprika
teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
teaspoon black pepper

1 cup panko breadcrumbs
Vegetable oil for frying
For the Garlic Butter Sauce:

Directions:
Prepare the Lobster Bites:
In a bowl, soak the lobster pieces in buttermilk for 15 minutes.
In a separate dish, mix flour, cornstarch, paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, beat the egg.
In a final bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs.
Remove lobster pieces from buttermilk, dip in flour mixture, then in the egg, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs.
Fry the Lobster Bites:
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to 350F 175C.
Fry lobster pieces in batches for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

Remove from heat and serve warm.
