Cook Time Seven Mins

Ingredients;
- Four tails of lobster
- 1/4 cup of butter without salt
- One tablespoon of newly squeezed lemon juice
- half a tablespoon of finely chopped garlic
- 1/4 tsp salt and pepper, to taste, and smoked paprika
Instructions;
- Your lobster tails can be butter flyed using kitchen shears. To reach the tail, cut down the middle of the shell’s top.
- Next, turn the lobster over, and break each vertebrae between the legs with your thumbs.
- Using your fingers, loosen the flesh around the top, bottom, and sides. Pull the lobster meat up gently and place it atop the tail.
- Sprinkle paprika, salt and pepper to taste.
- Melt the butter in a small bowl and squeeze in the lemon juice and garlic. Remove 2 tablespoons of the butter mixture and set it aside.
- Brush the tails with the melted butter, lemon juice, and garlic.
- Place the tails in the air fryer basket.
- Cook your lobster for 5 to 8 minutes at 380 degrees Fahrenheit, or until the meat is opaque, lightly browned, and the tail is a vibrant red colour.
- Serve it with the melted butter that was set aside. Add parsley as a garnish (optional).
Notes;
- It’s okay if you can only find frozen lobster tails; just make sure they’re thawed beforehand.
- It’s acceptable to slice through some of the meat when butterflying your lobster; the bottom of the tail should not be cut through.
- The lobster is a female if you observe that portions of its meat is pinker than other parts of its tail.
- After five minutes, check the internal temperature of your lobster with a meat thermometer inserted horizontally; when it reaches between 135 and 140 degrees, it’s done.
