Instructions

• Using kitchen shears, carefully cut through the top of the lobster shell, stopping just before the tail end. Gently pull apart the shell slightly to expose the meat.
• In a small bowl, mix together the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Rub this spice mixture generously over the exposed lobster meat.
• Add 1 cup of water to the Instant Pot. Place the steam rack inside to elevate the lobster tails above the water.
• Position the prepared lobster tails on the steam rack, ensuring they are not submerged in water.
• Dot the lobster tails with 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter, dividing it equally between the two tails.
• Secure the lid on the Instant Pot and set it to cook on high pressure for 5 minutes. Once the cooking time is complete, allow for a quick release of pressure.
• Carefully remove the lobster tails using heatproof tongs. Drizzle with the remaining melted butter and serve immediately, perhaps with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for an extra kick. Enjoy your delicious Instant Pot Lobster Tails!
