- Preheat the oil for deep fat frying in a large heavy bottomed saucepan, or in a deep fat fryer.
- In a large bowl combine the eggs, flour, beer, salt and pepper. Beat to form a smooth thick batter.
- Pour the breadcrumbs out onto a plate.
- One at a time, coat the lobster with the batter then quickly roll in the breadcrumbs to cover. Immediately transfer the scampi to the preheated oil for cooking. Repeat for the remainder of the scampi.
- Cook the scampi for 5 minutes, until they turn crispy and golden brown. Remove and blot to remove excess oil. Serve immediately.
