Place the lobster chunks in a bowl with the buttermilk. Let them soak for 15–30 minutes to enhance tenderness and flavor.
Prepare the Coating
In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper.
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or deep frying pan, heat about 1–2 inches (2.5–5 cm) of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
Coat and Fry the Lobster
Remove the lobster from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off.
Dredge each piece thoroughly in the flour mixture.
Fry the lobster in batches for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
Make the Garlic Butter Sauce
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and fresh parsley.
Serve and Enjoy
Drizzle the garlic butter sauce over the lobster bites or serve it on the side for dipping.
