Crispy Lobster Bites with Zesty Garlic Butter Sauce 
Ingredients:
For the Lobster Bites:
1 lb lobster tails (or lobster meat), cut into bite-sized pieces
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Vegetable oil (for frying)
Lemon wedges (for serving)
For the Garlic Butter Sauce:
1/2 cup unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
Directions:
For the Lobster Bites:
Prepare the Lobster: Pat the lobster pieces dry with paper towels.
Mix the Coating: In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Coat the Lobster: Dredge each lobster piece in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Fry the Lobster Bites: Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot (about 350°F or 175°C), fry the lobster bites in batches for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
For the Garlic Butter Sauce:
Make the Sauce: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the lemon juice, chopped parsley, and red pepper flakes (if using). Remove from heat.
To Serve:
Serve the crispy lobster bites hot with the garlic butter sauce drizzled over the top or on the side for dipping. Garnish with fresh lemon wedges for added zest.
