Recipe: Miniature Lobster Corn Dogs with Spicy Mustard

Introduction

Ingredients

For the Miniature Lobster Corn Dogs:

• 1 lb fresh lobster meat, cooked and chopped
• 1 cup yellow cornmeal
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• Vegetable oil, for frying

For the Spicy Mustard:

• 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon hot sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Miniature Lobster Corn Dogs

In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and melted butter.

Add the chopped lobster meat to the dry ingredients and toss to coat evenly.

Pour the buttermilk mixture into the lobster mixture and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 2: Fry the Miniature Lobster Corn Dogs

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C).

Using a small ice cream scoop or spoon, drop small portions of the lobster batter into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.

Remove the corn dogs from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 3: Prepare the Spicy Mustard

In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, honey, hot sauce, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

Arrange the miniature lobster corn dogs on a platter and serve with the spicy mustard on the side for dipping.

Enjoy this delicious and unique twist on a classic corn dog!
