Air Fryer Lobster Tails

Step 1

First, start by preheating the air fryer to 380 degrees F for 3 minutes.

Step 2

Grab a pair of some good kitchen shears. Butterfly the lobster tails by cutting lengthwise through the center of the top shell of the tail. Cut all the way to the tail but do not cut through it. Use your hands to spread apart the halves of the tail and expose the lobster meat.

Step 3

Place the lobster tails inside the air fryer making sure the lobster meat is facing up.

Step 4

Chop the fresh parsley and mince the garlic cloves to begin preparing the sauce.

Step 5

Next, prepare the garlic parmesan white wine sauce which is made on the stovetop. In a sauce pan, add the butter, lemon juice, dry white wine, salt and paprika. Mix until the butter has melted and then add the minced garlic and fresh parsley stirring for just 15 seconds.

Step 6

Reserve 3 tbsp of the butter mixture to brush the lobster tails with, turn off the heat and leave the rest of the butter mixture inside the pan for now.

Step 7

Brush the lobster tail meat with the reserved butter mixture. Air fry at 380 degrees F for 5-7 minutes.

Step 8

Next, finish preparing the garlic parmesan white wine sauce. Return to the sauce pan with the butter mixture on the stovetop and turn on the heat to medium high. Add in the flour and whisk together with the other ingredients to break up any lumps.

Step 9

Add the heavy cream and parmesan cheese to the sauce and stir until the sauce thickens for about 4-5 minutes.

Step 10

Once the lobster tails are done cooking, remove them from the air fryer and serve topped with the garlic parmesan white wine sauce and fresh parsley if desired. You can also make a side of pasta or potatoes to go with the rest of the sauce.
