- Salt and pepper
- 4 tablespoons of butter
- 1 garlic clove
- Lemon zest
- Lemon wedges
- Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions:
First of all, you need to prepare the lobster before jumping at making an air fryer lobster tail. You must cut the shell in the centre and loosen the meat enough to pull it upwards. Season the meat with salt and pepper then place it on a baking sheet.
Next, you need to prepare the butter mixture, so grab a bowl and melt the butter. Now mix in the garlic, parsley, and other herbs you like. Use this mix to spread it onto the exposed lobster tail meat.
Put the lobster tail in the air fryer basket and start baking it at 200°C for about 5 to 7 minutes. Let it cook until you see the meat becomes opaque and a little brown.
Serve with lemon wedges as per preference.
