Air Fryer Lobster Tail Recipe

I don’t have a specific recipe for Air Fryer Lobster Tail, but here’s a general method you can follow to cook lobster tails in an air fryer:

Air Fryer Lobster Tail

Ingredients:

• 2 lobster tails
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Lemon wedges, for serving
• Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Lobster Tails:
   • Thaw the lobster tails if they are frozen. Using kitchen shears or a sharp knife, carefully cut the top shell of the lobster tails lengthwise down the middle, stopping just before the tail fin. Gently pull apart the shell without detaching it from the tail meat.
2. Season and Brush with Butter:
   • Season the lobster tails with salt and pepper.
   • Brush the lobster meat with melted butter, making sure to coat evenly.
3. Preheat the Air Fryer:
   • Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
4. Air Fry the Lobster Tails:
   • Place the lobster tails in the air fryer basket, shell side down.
   • Air fry at 380°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, depending on the size of the lobster tails. The meat should be opaque and firm, and the shell should be bright red.
5. Serve:
   • Remove the lobster tails from the air fryer basket and serve immediately.
   • Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.

Tips:

• Butter Options: You can infuse the butter with garlic or herbs for added flavor.
• Checking Doneness: Make sure the lobster meat reaches an internal temperature of 140-145°F (60-63°C).
• Size Variation: Cooking time may vary depending on the size and thickness of the lobster tails.
