Lobster Tail In Air Fryer

If you’re in the mood to splurge and indulge yourself, lobster is the way to go. We are keeping it simple with butter, salt and parsley to let the lobster flavor shine.

Serve with steak for surf and turf or alongside salad or vegetables for a great meal.

Can You Cook Lobster In The Air Fryer

Yes, lobster tails can be cooked in the air fryer. They only take 4-7 minutes at 400ºF. Time will vary depending on the size of your lobster tails and the air fryer you are using. These lobster tails are 5 ounces cooked in a Cosori Air Fryer for 6 minutes.

When done, lobster tails will have a bright red shell and white meat. The internal temp will be 140º-145ºF.

How To Prep Lobster Tails Before Cooking

Use sharp kitchen scissors to cut from open end to the tail fins. Pull the lobster meat out of the shell to sit on the top. Remove dark vein down the middle of the lobster meat.

See video for example. It doesn’t have to be perfect as proven by my clumsy job of it.
