- Preheating and Prep
Preheat an air fryer to 380 degrees F (195 degrees C).
- Cooking the Base
Butterfly lobster tails by cutting lengthwise through the centers of the hard top shells and meat with kitchen shears. Cut to, but not through, the bottoms of the shells. Spread tail halves apart. Place tails in the air fryer basket with lobster meat facing up.
- Cooking the Base
Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add lemon zest and garlic; heat until garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Mixing the Ingredients
Transfer 2 tablespoons of butter mixture to a small bowl and brush onto lobster tails; discard any remaining brushed butter to avoid contamination from uncooked lobster. Season lobster with salt and pepper.
- Preheating and Prep
Cook in the preheated air fryer until lobster meat is opaque, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Plating and Serving
Spoon reserved butter from the saucepan over lobster meat. Top with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
