Air Fryer Lobster Tail Preparation:
Ingredients:
– 2 lobster tails
– 2 tablespoons melted butter
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Lemon wedges, for serving
– Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Lobster Tails: If the lobster tails are frozen, allow them to thaw. Using kitchen shears, carefully cut along the top shell of each tail, stopping at the base. Gently pull the shell apart to reveal the meat while keeping it attached at the base. Lift the meat through the cut shell so that it rests on top.
2. Season the Lobster Tails: Brush the exposed lobster meat with the melted butter, ensuring an even coating. In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Evenly sprinkle this seasoning mixture over the buttered lobster meat.
3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to preheat at 380°F (193°C).
4. Air Frying: Place the seasoned lobster tails in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not touch each other. Cook for approximately 6-8 minutes, or until the meat turns opaque and is fully cooked. Note that cooking times may vary based on the size of the lobster tails and the specific model of the air fryer.
5. Serve: Carefully remove the lobster tails from the air fryer and transfer them to serving plates. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve alongside lemon wedges.
Enjoy your delectable air fryer lobster tail! Please be aware that cooking times may differ based on your air fryer model and the size of the lobster tails. Always verify that the lobster tails are thoroughly cooked and have reached a safe internal temperature. Feel free to modify the seasoning and cooking duration to suit your taste preferences. Enjoy your meal.
