If you love fried fast-food but you're looking to change it up a bit, this lobster corn dog recipe revamps the traditional breaded hot dog with the inclusion of lobster meat. These gourmet lobster corn dogs even come with a side of flavorful tamarind ketchup.
These gourmet corn dogs start with a homemade corn bread recipe. Once the batter is made, dip a shell-less lobster tail into the mixture and deep fry it until its golden brown. Follow it up by making a fancy tamarind ketchup from fresh tamarind, tomatoes, onions, orange juice, browns sugar, red bell peppers and mango. This innovative take on a classic sport area meal is great for parties, events or dinners.
