Freddie Prinze Jr.’s San Juan–Style Fried Lobster

They say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach—but the same can be said for women when you’re Freddie Prince Jr. The actor and upcoming cookbook author is revealing one recipe that he’s used to make someone fall in love.

“I actually once made lobster with sauce that changed an actress completely,” he says. “She fell in love with me to the point that it was creepy.”

While we await Freddie Prince Jr.'s new cookbook, Lobster Gram is sharing on of his recipes called San Juan-Style Fried Lobster.  Enjoy!

Serves 4

Ingredients:

• 2 cups canola oil
• 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp. garlic powder
• 1 tbsp. New Mexico red chile powder
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
• 4 small lobster tails, cut into bite-size pieces
• 4 large eggs, beaten
• 1 lemon, quartered

Directions:

1. In a Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat to about 350°F, or until it shimmers.

2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, chile powder, salt, and black pepper and mix well.

3. Working one at a time, dip the pieces of lobster tail into the beaten egg, then dredge them in the flour mixture so that they’re fully covered, and then place them into the hot oil. Let them fry for about 5 minutes, flipping them over halfway through. When are they done? When they’re Golden Brown Delicious (GBD), that’s when.

4. Instruct your guests to squeeze the lemon over their lobster and enjoy immediately.
