\n1 1\/2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter See notes.
\n1\/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
\n2 garlic cloves Minced
\n1\/2 teaspoon finely chopped parsley
\n1\/2 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning Feel free to use your favorite seafood seasoning.<\/p>\n
\nThen 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.
\nTurn the lobster tail over and open up the shell. Remove the vein from the lobster if it hasn\u2019t been deveined.
\nPress 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.
\nCombine 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.
\nAir 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.<\/p>\n
\nThe amount of butter used in this recipe assumes more dipping of butter once the lobster is cooked. Feel free to reduce the ingredients in half or by whatever suits your taste.
\nEvery air fryer cooks at varying speeds. Cook time will also vary depending on the size of the lobster you use. You will need to watch it and check on it as it cooks, to avoid overcooking it. If you overcook the lobster it will be rubbery and tough.
\nIf you\u2019ve never butterflied lobster, it may take some practice. You may not get it right the first or second time.
\nButterflying allows heat from the grill, oven, or air fryer to penetrate every piece of the tail\u2019s meat. It allows the lobster tail to cook evenly, so you don\u2019t overcook it.
\nYou can cook whatever size lobster will fit in your air fryer. Be cautious of cook time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
