- Salt
- 4 lobster tails, still in shell
- 2 cups yellow cornmeal
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
- 3 cups buttermilk
- 16 ounces creamed corn
- 2/3 cup grated onion
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Zest from 2 lemons
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon minced shallot
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 2 cups mayonnaise
- Paprika
- Chopped fresh chives
- Chopped fresh parsley
Method
- For the lobster corn dogs: In a large stockpot, bring salted water to a boil, about 1 quart (enough to cover the lobster tails).
- Skewer the lobster tails to keep them from curling when you put them into the boiling water.
- Drop the lobster tails in the boiling water and cook for 4 minutes.
- Remove the tails from the water and immediately drop into ice water.
- Once chilled, after about 5 minutes, remove from the water, take out the skewers, remove the meat from the shells and set aside.
- Combine the cornmeal, flour, 1 tablespoon salt, baking powder, baking soda and cayenne in a medium bowl.
- In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, creamed corn, onions and honey.
- Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and mix with a whisk.
- There will be lumps when done.
- Pour the batter in a container.
- Preheat the oil in a deep-fryer to 365 degrees F.
- Put a skewer into each tail and dip into the batter, making sure to coat evenly.
- Carefully drop into the fryer and cook for 4 to 5 minutes.
- Remove and let rest on paper towels for 2 minutes to cool so the aioli doesn't melt off.
- For the aioli: In a blender, puree the lemon zest, lemon juice, shallots and garlic.
- In a bowl, fold puree into mayonnaise and place into a squirt bottle.
- Drizzle the lemon aioli onto the lobster corndogs, and garnish with paprika, chopped chives and parsley.
- Enjoy!
