If you are a seafood lover, then these two recipes are for you! As a North Carolina girl who is living in a Maryland world, I combined my two favorite dishes from each state and made crab hushpuppies. I love a good hushpuppy and I eat them often with fried fish and of course with Eastern NC chopped BBQ. I never thought of adding lump crab meat until last week. I have to say that the addition of the crab meat and beer takes hushpuppies to the next level. I posted a tip on how to get a perfectly round hushpuppy on my Tik Tok last week and they went viral. If you haven't seen that tip, I make sure you are following me on Tik Tok.

Instructions

Step 1

Remove lobster using kitchen scissors. Clean the lobster tails and then pat dry.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, garlic pepper seasoning, paprika, and Old Bay. Slowly pour in the beer until the mixture resembles a thick pancake batter. * Don’t pour in the beer all at once. Use just enough so your batter looks like semi-thick pancake batter.*

Step 3

Heat oil in a deep fryer to 350 degrees.

Step 4

If your lobster tails are not pre-cut, skewer the lobster before frying. If they are pre-cut, you can add the skewer after. Submerge the lobster tails in the batter covering completely. Fry until golden brown and place on wire rack to cool.

Step 5

Serve drizzled with Old Bay crema and garnish with finely chopped parsley
