INGREDIENTS

  • Seafood

    • 🦞 2 (4 ounce) lobster tails

  • Dairy

    • 🧈 4 tablespoons butter

  • Citrus

    • 🍋 1 teaspoon lemon zest
    • 🍋 2 wedges lemon

  • Herbs

    • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley

  • Spices

    • 🧄 1 clove garlic, grated

STEPS

1

Gather all ingredients. Preheat an air fryer to 380 degrees F (195 degrees C).

2

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.

3

Spread tail halves apart. Place tails in the air fryer basket with lobster meat facing up.

4

Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add lemon zest and garlic; heat until garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds.

5

Transfer 2 tablespoons of butter mixture to a small bowl; brush this onto lobster tails. Discard any remaining brushed butter to avoid contamination from uncooked lobster. Season lobster with salt and pepper.

6

Cook in the preheated air fryer until lobster meat is opaque, 5 to 7 minutes.

7

Spoon reserved butter from the saucepan over lobster meat. Top with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
