A favorite restaurant of mine that burnt down years ago used to serve this and it was wonderful. Didn't have their recipe so I had to come up with my own. Hope you enjoy!

We love lobster and absolutely loved this recipe. The tempura batter is flavorful and not overly heavy. Serve at a New Year's Eve party and impress your guests! Be careful not to over fry your lobster - it will become tough.
