Ingredients
Scale
4 lobster tails (frozen or fresh)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Prepare the lobster tails by cutting the top of the shell lengthwise and gently pulling the meat apart, ensuring it stays attached at the base of the tail.
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, garlic, lemon juice, paprika, and parsley. Stir to combine.
Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for a few minutes. Brush the lobster meat with the garlic butter sauce and place the lobster tails in the air fryer basket.
Air fry at 380°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, depending on the size of the tails. The lobster should be opaque and tender when fully cooked.
Garnish with extra garlic butter, parsley, and lemon wedges before serving. Enjoy immediately!
