Ingredients:
2 lobster tails (6-8 ounces each)
4 tablespoons butter, melted
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
Prepare the Lobster: Using kitchen shears or a sharp knife, carefully cut down the center of the lobster tail shell, starting from the top and stopping just before the tail fin. Gently open the shell and lift the lobster meat slightly.
Make the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Baste the Lobster: Brush the lobster meat generously with the garlic butter mixture. Make sure to get some garlic butter under the meat as well.
Air Fry: Place the lobster tails in the air fryer basket. Make sure they are not overlapping.
Cook: Air fry at 380°F (190°C) for 6-8 minutes. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on the size of your lobster tails and your air fryer.
Check for Doneness: The lobster is done when the meat is opaque and firm to the touch. The internal temperature should reach 140°F (60°C).
Rest: Remove the lobster tails from the air fryer and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately. Drizzle any remaining garlic butter over the lobster.
