Frying Lobster

Never thought of frying lobster? It can be done!

The first step in how to fry lobster is to get the meat out of the lobster before you cook it. You can kill your live lobster either by plunging a knife in its head (not on my list of things I like to do) or you can steam the lobster. But only steam it for a minute or two, the objective here is not to cook the lobster, just to prepare it to get the meat out.

The best way of preparing the tail meat is to cut lobster medallions out of them. Then crack the claws and cut the claw meat into chunks.

Once you have the lobster meat ready, warm the frying pan and melt about 2 Tbsp of butter in it. Add any seasonings you would like - perhaps garlic, or parsley. Fresh-snipped basil can be quite nice, too. Put the meat in the pan, and fry for 2 to 3 minutes, until the meat is opaque.
