Ingredients
4 crayfish tails
½ cup butter
¼ tsp SIDS CRAZY LEMON
1 tsp lemon zest
2 cloves garlic, grated
SIDS SALT & PEPPER to taste
2 tsp chopped fresh parsley
4 wedges lemon
Directions
Butterfly crayfish tails by cutting lengthwise through the centres of the hard top shells and meat with kitchen shears. Cut to, but not through, the bottoms of the shells. Spread the tail halves apart. Place tails in the air fryer basket with lobster meat facing up.
Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add lemon zest, SIDS CRAZY LEMON and garlic then heat until garlic is tender, about 30 seconds. Transfer 2 tablespoons of butter mixture to a small bowl and brush onto crayfish tails, discarding any remaining brushed butter to avoid contamination from uncooked crayfish. Season crayfish with SIDS SALT & PEPPER.
Cook in an air fryer at 195°C until lobster meat is opaque, 5-7 minutes. Spoon reserved butter from the saucepan over lobster meat. Top with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
