Deep Fried Lobster

Ingredients

• 2 live lobsters, about 1 1/2 to 2 pounds each
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten

4. In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper.
5. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
6. In a third bowl, pour the panko bread crumbs.
7. Dip each lobster piece in the flour mixture, then the egg mixture, then the panko crumbs. Make sure to coat each piece well.
8. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
9. Carefully add the lobster pieces to the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.
10. Remove the lobster from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
