Ingredients
  

Lobster Tails
  • 2 lobster tails about 6-8 oz each
  • 30 g unsalted butter melted
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 5 ml lemon juice
  • 0.5 cucchiaino paprika
  • 0.5 cucchiaino salt and pepper to taste
  • 5 g fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Method
 

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C).
  2. Using kitchen scissors, cut the top shell of each lobster tail lengthwise to expose the meat. Gently pull the meat out slightly and lay it on top of the shell.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  4. Brush the butter mixture generously over the lobster meat.
  5. Place the lobster tails in the air fryer basket, meat side up, ensuring they do not overlap.
  6. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  7. Remove from the air fryer and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

For added flavor, consider sprinkling a little extra paprika or Old Bay seasoning on the lobster tails before cooking. Serve with lemon wedges for an extra zest.
