Ingredients

  • 2 lobster tails (3-5 ounces each)
  • 2 tablespoon butter
  • 2 cloves garlic chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped dill
  • lemon wedges as garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash the lobster tails and use scissors to make cuts on top. Loosen the meat from the shell, elevating it slightly but keeping it attached at the base. Set aside.
  2. Mix melted butter, garlic, salt, and pepper. Pour or brush over the top of the lobster, reserving a little for serving.
  3. Place tails in the air fryer basket. Set to 350 degrees and cook for 9-12 minutes, checking the internal temperature after 9 minutes. The temperature should read 145 degrees, if not, continue cooking.

  4. Remove carefully from the basket. Brush with remaining butter mixture and then sprinkle chopped dill over the top. Garnish with lemon wedges if desired and serve immediately.
