Instructions

1. 1
   Gather all ingredients. Preheat an air fryer to 380 degrees F (195 degrees C).
2. 2
   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.
3. 3
   Spread tail halves apart. Place tails in the air fryer basket with lobster meat facing up.
4. 4
   Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add lemon zest and garlic; heat until garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds.
5. 5
   Transfer 2 tablespoons of butter mixture to a small bowl; brush this onto lobster tails. Discard any remaining brushed butter to avoid contamination from uncooked lobster. Season lobster with salt and pepper.
6. 6
   Cook in the preheated air fryer until lobster meat is opaque, 5 to 7 minutes.
7. 7
   Spoon reserved butter from the saucepan over lobster meat. Top with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
