air fryer lobster

Air Fried Lobster tails are so easy to make! This method is full proof and easier than broiling or even grilling! These are ready in less than 10 minutes and drizzled in a lemon garlic butter sauce.

Air Fryer Lobster Tails

lobster tails (About 5-7 ounces each.)

unsalted butter (See notes.)

lemon juice

garlic

parsley

Old Bay Seasoning (Feel free to use your favorite seafood seasoning.)

Pat the lobster dry and use kitchen shears to butterfly the lobster tails. Take the shears and slice through the top shell down the middle until you reach the base of the tail (fin). You’ll also cut into the meat, which will butterfly it and cause it to sit better on the shell.Then flip the lobster tail over and press down on the ribs until you hear them crack. This will help release the meat when you go to butterfly it.Turn the lobster tail over and open up the shell. Remove the vein from the lobster if it hasn&#39;t been deveined. Press along the edges of the shell on both sides to loosen up the meat. Keep the meat attached to the shell. Lift up the meat from the shell and lay it over the shell.

Combine the butter, garlic, lemon juice, parsley, and Old Bay Seasoning. Brush it over the tails. I like to use half of the butter sauce for when the lobsters go in the air fryer and then I drizzle the remaining sauce over the lobster tails once they have finished cooking.

Air fry for 5-8 minutes on 370 degrees. The best way to tell if the lobster is perfectly cooked is to use a meat thermometer. Test the deepest part of the meat and ensure it reads 145 degrees. The tail should be completely white with no grey translucent color.

Air Fryer Lobster Tails are succulent, juicy, and drizzled in melted butter for the perfect fancy dinner idea.

lobster tails

unsalted butter, melted

salt

black pepper

Start by melting the butter, once that is melted, cut the lobster with kitchen scissors, right through the tail section. Then with your fingers, break the shell and pull back the shell.

Note: Be careful, the shells if very sharp, once you start breaking them.

Brush your lobster tails with butter, add some salt and pepper, then air fry at 380 degrees for 4 minutes, and then add melted butter, and air fry for another 2 minutes.

Serve with additional butter.

Plate, serve, and enjoy!

This looks so easy and delicious.  I have learned so much from you.  Bought a air fryer in 2020 and discovered your tips and recipes by accident.  So glad I did.  I just turned 80 and still cook everyday.  Than you.
