Instructions

1
Using kitchen shears, cut down the center of the top of the lobster shell, from the open end towards the tail.
2
Make two small horizontal cuts at the base of the tail to help release the meat.
3
Carefully separate the meat from the shell and lift it out, placing it on top of the shell.
4
Brush a thin, even layer of mayonnaise over the top of the lobster meat.
5
Sprinkle generously with Cajun seasoning.
6
Place the prepared lobster tails in the air fryer basket.
7
Cook at 390°F (199°C) for 9 minutes, until the lobster is cooked through and the top is golden brown.
8
Remove from the air fryer and squeeze a fresh lemon wedge over the top before serving.
