ingredients

4 tablespoons butter
1 cup chopped yellow onion
1 teaspoon finely minced garlic
¹⁄₄ cup chopped carrot
¹⁄₂ cup chopped red bell pepper
¹⁄₂ cup chopped green bell pepper
2 ¹⁄₂ lbs cooked lobster tail meat, cut into chunks
2 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
¹⁄₄ cup chopped parsley
salt and pepper
1 ¹⁄₂ cups breadcrumbs
vegetable oil (for frying)

directions

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter.
Add in the onion, garlic, and carrots; saute and stir frequently for 3 minutes or until onions are soft.
Add in the bell peppers and saute another 2 minutes.
Add in the lobster meat and cook 1 minute or until heated through; Set aside to cool for 10-15 minutes.
Transfer lobster mixture to a large mixing bowl.
Add in eggs, mayonnaise, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste; stir to mix well.
Add 1 cup of bread crumbs to lobster mixture; toss to mix.
Add more breadcrumbs if needed so that mixture barely holds it shape.
Take 1/4 cup lobster mixture and shape cakes by hand.
Pour oil into a large nonstick skillet to 1/4 inch depth; heat over medium heat.
When very hot, add lobster cakes.
Cook for about 3 minutes per side (for a 1-inch thick cake) or until golden brown on both sides.
Remove from skillet and drain on paper-towel lined plate.
Serve warm with your favorite sauce--we like honey mustard sauce.

Easy and delicious. I did add worcestershire sauce, about a tsp. Also added some horseradish sauce about Tbl. then juice of one lime. Used croutons that I put in the food processor as I didn't have breadcrumbs but did have panko which I added to the breadcrumb mixture. Came out great. For the dipping sauce, I used mayo, honey mustard, wasabi, horseradish and fresh lime juice. The measurements are to you liking.
