Description
A luxurious dish featuring succulent lobster tails served over garlic butter pasta.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lobster tails
- 8 ounces linguine or fettuccine pasta
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 cup dry white wine (like Sauvignon Blanc)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup freshly chopped parsley
- Grated Parmesan cheese for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve about 1 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
- Using kitchen shears, cut down the top of each lobster tail and gently pull the meat out, laying it on top of the shell.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in white wine and lemon juice, simmer for 3-4 minutes to reduce the sauce. Season with salt and black pepper.
- Place lobster tails in the skillet, meat side up, and spoon garlic butter sauce over them. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes until lobster is opaque.
- Add drained pasta to the skillet, tossing everything together and adding reserved pasta water if needed.
- Sprinkle in chopped parsley, toss again, and serve topped with lobster tails and grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
Notes
- Adjust red pepper flakes to your spice preference.
- Ensure not to overcook the garlic to avoid bitterness.
- Use fresh lobster for the best flavor.
