Directions
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and flour until evenly combined.

-
Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to 340ðF (170ðC).
-
Pat the lobster tail pieces dry with paper towels to ensure the batter adheres properly.

Dip each lobster piece into the tempura batter, coating evenly.
-
Carefully lower the battered lobster into the hot oil and fry for 1.5 to 2 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
-
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a wire rack set over a sheet pan.
