🥘 Ingredients
Seafood
  • 2 lobster tails (6-8 oz each)
Garlic Butter
  • 4 tbsp butter (melted)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (fresh)
Seasoning
  • 1 tsp paprika (sweet)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
Garnish
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
Serving
  • 1 lemon (cut into wedges)
📝 Instructions
  1. Use kitchen shears to split the lobster shell down the center lengthwise. Pull the meat up so it rests on top of the shell. Shared 💡 Butterflying exposes more meat for even cooking.
  2. Mix melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, and salt. Shared 💡 Fresh garlic in butter is infinitely better than garlic powder here.
  3. Preheat Ninja on Air Fry at 380°F. Brush lobster meat generously with garlic butter. Shared 💡 Be generous — the butter bastes the lobster as it cooks.
  4. Place tails in basket meat-side up. Cook 6-8 minutes until meat is opaque white and internal temp reaches 140°F. Top Oven 💡 Lobster goes from perfect to rubbery in under a minute — watch closely.
  5. Brush with remaining garlic butter immediately. Sprinkle with fresh parsley. Shared 💡 Hot lobster soaks up butter like a sponge.
  6. Serve with lemon wedges and any remaining butter for dipping. Shared 💡 Presentation: serve in the shell for dramatic effect.
💡 Ninja Tips

Do not overcook — lobster goes from tender to rubbery quickly. Butterfly the tail for even cooking. 140°F internal is the sweet spot.

Scaling: Double: Two batches (most baskets fit 2 tails). Half: 1 tail; same timing.
