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

  1. 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.
  2. Using kitchen shears, cut down the top of each lobster tail and gently pull the meat out, laying it on top of the shell.
  3. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Pour in white wine and lemon juice, simmer for 3-4 minutes to reduce the sauce. Season with salt and black pepper.
  5. 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.
  6. Add drained pasta to the skillet, tossing everything together and adding reserved pasta water if needed.
  7. 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.
