Ingredients
  

2 lobster tails (approximately 6-8 oz each)

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

2 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 teaspoon fresh parsley, finely chopped

1 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Prep the Lobster Tails: Begin by using kitchen scissors to carefully cut down the center of the top shell of each lobster tail, ensuring not to slice through the meat. Gently pull the lobster meat out from the shell slightly and place it on top of the shell for an elegant presentation.

    Make the Butter Herb Mixture: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped thyme, fresh lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are fully combined, creating a fragrant herb-infused butter mixture.

      Brush the Lobster Tails: With a pastry brush or a spoon, generously coat the lobster meat with the butter herb mixture, making sure to cover it evenly for maximum flavor.

        Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes, allowing the temperature to stabilize for optimal cooking.

          Air Fry the Lobster Tails: Place the prepared lobster tails in the air fryer basket, ensuring the shell side is down. Cook at 380°F for 8-10 minutes, or until the lobster meat turns opaque and is tender to the touch. Keep an eye on the tails, as cooking time may vary depending on their size.

            Serve: After cooking, carefully remove the lobster tails from the air fryer. Drizzle any remaining butter herb mixture over the tails for an extra burst of flavor. Serve hot, accompanied by lemon wedges for a zesty squeeze.
