INSTRUCTIONS
- To make the sauce: combine all the ingredients together and set aside.

- In a shallow bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, garlic powder, paprika, Old Bay and season with salt and pepper. Slowly pour in the beer until the mixture resembles a thick pancake batter.
- Heat frying oil to 375 degrees F.
- Dredge the lobster tails in the batter covering completely. Fry in oil 2 minutes a side if not fully submerged. Fry until crispy and golden and remove to a wire rack with drip tray or paper towel.
