Ingredients
  

  • 2 lobster tails (6-8 oz each)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Lobster Tails: Using kitchen scissors, cut through the top shell lengthwise. Gently pull the shell apart to expose the meat without removing it entirely. Lift the meat slightly and rest it on the shell.
    Season the Lobster: In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic, paprika, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Brush the mixture generously over the lobster meat.
    Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat for 3-5 minutes.
    Cook the Lobster: Place the lobster tails in the air fryer basket, meat side up. Cook for 7-8 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C).
    Serve: Garnish with parsley and an extra squeeze of lemon juice. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Ensure the lobster is fully thawed before cooking.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste.
  • Avoid overcooking to maintain tender meat.
