Ingredients for Air Fryer Lobster Tails with Lemon-Garlic Butter
- 2 (4 ounce) lobster tails
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 clove garlic, grated
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
- 2 wedges lemon
Directions for Air Fryer Lobster Tails with Lemon-Garlic Butter
- Preheat an air fryer to 380 degrees F (195 degrees C).
- Butterfly lobster tails by cutting lengthwise through the centers of the hard top shells and meat with kitchen shears.
- Cut to, but not through, the bottoms of the shells. Spread tail halves apart. Place tails in the air fryer basket with lobster meat facing up.
- Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add lemon zest and garlic; heat until garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Transfer 2 tablespoons of butter mixture to a small bowl and brush onto lobster tails; discard any remaining brushed butter to avoid contamination from uncooked lobster. Season lobster with salt and pepper.
- Cook in the preheated air fryer until lobster meat is opaque, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Spoon reserved butter from the saucepan over lobster meat. Top with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
Cook’s Note:
You can use frozen lobster tails, just thaw them first before proceeding with instructions.
