Ingredients

Here’s everything you need to create a restaurant-quality lobster linguine:

  • 1 lb linguine pasta
  • 2 lobsters (1 ½ lbs each) or substitute with Lobster Claws
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ¼ cup dry white wine
  • ¼ cup chicken broth
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Pasta

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Add the linguine and cook until al dente, according to package instructions.
  • Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Lobster

Pro Tip: Save the shells to make a flavorful lobster broth for future recipes.

Step 3: Sauté the Garlic and Lobster

  • In a large skillet, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Stir in the lobster meat and cook for 2-3 minutes until it turns pink.

Step 4: Build the Sauce

  • Pour in the white wine and chicken broth, stirring to combine.
  • Simmer the sauce for 5-7 minutes, allowing it to reduce by half.

Step 5: Toss with Pasta

  • Add the cooked linguine to the skillet, tossing to coat it evenly in the lobster sauce.
  • If needed, add reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce and ensure every strand is coated.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
  • Pair the dish with a crisp white wine for a complete dining experience.

Tips for Perfect Lobster Linguine

  • Choose Fresh Lobster: For the best flavor, use Live Lobster or fresh lobster tails.
  • Don’t Overcook Lobster: Overcooked lobster becomes rubbery. Cook it just until it turns pink and tender.
  • Experiment with Pasta: If linguine isn’t available, spaghetti or fettuccine are great alternatives.
