Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 2 lobster tails (I like to use one 4 ounce lobster tail per person)
- 1/2 lb pasta
- 1 shallot (finely diced )
- 4 garlic cloves (finely minced)
- pinch red crush pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/2 lemon (the juice and zest )
- 1/2 cup white wine (or chicken stock )
- 1/2 cup pasta water
- 4 tbsp butter
- bunch fresh parsley
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
Instruction
- Split lobster tails lengthwise with kitchen shears. Remove the lobster meat and chop it into bite-sized pieces.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lobster tails and pasta and cook the pasta according to box instructions. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water and set it aside.
- Add the olive oil and shallots to a large skillet and cook for about 1 minute over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and red crushed pepper and cook until fragrant.
- Add the white wine, pasta water, and 2 tbsp of butter. Cook for 5 minutes or until it starts to thicken and the wine reduces by half.
- Stir in the lobster meat, lemon juice, and remaining butter. Cook the lobster meat for 1 minute or until it turns white. Add the cooked pasta and garnish it with fresh parsley and lemon zest. Enjoy!
