Savor the Luxury in Every Bite! Perfect for Celebrations or a Gourmet Weeknight Treat.

🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️  
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice  
- 1/2 cup cornstarch  
- 1 cup all-purpose flour  
- 1 lb lobster tails, cut into bite-sized pieces  
- 1/2 tsp each of garlic powder and onion powder  
- Salt and pepper to taste  
- 4 cloves garlic, minced  
- Vegetable oil for frying  
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped  
- Lemon wedges for serving  
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter  
- Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional for heat)  
- 1 tsp paprika  

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳  
1. In a bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
2. Coat the lobster pieces in the flour mixture, ensuring each piece is well covered and shaking off any excess.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F. Carefully add the lobster bites and fry until they turn golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
4. Remove the lobster bites from the oil and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
5. For the garlic butter sauce: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until it becomes fragrant. Stir in lemon juice, chopped parsley, and red pepper flakes if using.
6. Serve the crispy lobster bites with the garlic butter sauce either drizzled over or on the side for dipping. Accompany with lemon wedges.
