Yield 6 tacos

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 cup all purpose flour
1 tablespoon paprika
½ tablespoon garlic powder
½ tablespoon onion powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 ⅓ cups light beer
1 ½ tablespoons Cholula® Hot Sauce
1 lb raw lobster meat, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 ½ cups vegetable oil, or as needed
1 cup shredded green cabbage
1 cup shredded red cabbage
3 red radishes, cut into matchsticks
¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced
¼ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup lime juice
¼ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
6 corn tortillas, warmed
1 avocado, peeled and pitted, sliced into thin half moons
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves
Cholula® Hot Sauce, for drizzling

Steps:

  • Make the lobster: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. While whisking constantly, add the egg, beer, and Cholula® Hot Sauce and continue whisking until smooth.
  • Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until the temperature reaches 350°F (180°C). Set a wire rack over a baking sheet.
  • Working in batches of a few pieces at a time, dip the lobster in the batter until thoroughly coated, then add to the hot oil. Fry, turning occasionally, for 4 minutes, or until the batter is deep golden brown and the lobster is cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the lobster to the wire rack to drain.
  • Make the slaw: In a medium bowl, toss together the green and red cabbage, radishes, red onion, mayonnaise, lime juice, and salt until well combined. Season with more salt to taste.
  • Assemble the tacos: Place a few slices of avocado on a warm tortilla, then top with 3-4 pieces of fried lobster and about ¼ cup of slaw. Drizzle with Cholula® Hot Sauce and garnish with cilantro.
  • Enjoy!
