  • 500 g linguine pasta
  • 500 g lobster meat (claws and tails) or 2 whole lobsters Use fresh or thawed if using frozen.
Sauce Ingredients
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small shallot, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped For garnish
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Method
 

Cooking Pasta
  1. Cook the linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Preparing Sauce
  1. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and shallot, and sauté until fragrant and translucent.
  2. Add the lobster meat (or whole lobsters) to the skillet and cook for a few minutes until heated through.
  3. Pour in the white wine, letting it simmer for about 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream, lemon zest, lemon juice, and Parmesan cheese. Mix well and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  5. Add the cooked linguine to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta in the sauce.
  6. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes as desired.
  7. Finish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For optimal flavor, toast the garlic in the butter to enhance the sauce. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days. It’s best enjoyed fresh, but can be frozen for future meals.
