Recipe says 10 min for two. 380 to 400 degrees depending on website.

How long do you think for six?

1. usually takes 13-20 minutes for two

380 would do 3 at a time not 6

2. And in that case, it's probably better to broil all 6 at once

I thought those things were faster. There's no way I can have one in my urban kitchenette.

3. Thanks to both of you.

4. Lobster and scallops I wouldn't do in the

air fryer. Only because they’re so freaking expensive and a small window for error.

5. Thanks. It'll be the oven as usual.

6. Pro Tip I've Seen On TV

For shellfish in the oven, I've seen experts put on oven safe pot half-full of water in the oven. The 15 minutes it takes to cook isn't enough time to evaporate all the water.
Apparently, having saturated air in the oven helps assure no drying out of the tail meat.
I've seen this a half dozen times on cooking shows.
I did it with crab legs & it worked great. Actually I used a cake pan full of water.
