What You’ll Need
- 1 ¼ pounds of fresh lobster tails
- 8 ounces of linguine pasta
- 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- ½ cup of white wine
- ½ cup of seafood stock
- ¼ cup of fresh parsley, chopped
- Lemon wedges for serving
- Salt and pepper to taste
Step 1: Preparing the Lobster
Start by removing the lobster meat from the shells. Using sharp kitchen shears, carefully cut the shells lengthwise and gently remove the meat. Set the lobster meat aside and discard the shells.
Step 2: Cooking the Linguine
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set it aside.
Step 3: Sautéing the Lobster
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Be careful not to burn the garlic. Add the lobster meat to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until it turns opaque. Remove the lobster meat from the skillet and set it aside.
Step 4: Preparing the Sauce
Using the same skillet, deglaze it with white wine, scraping any browned bits from the bottom. Let the wine simmer for a minute, then add the seafood stock. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 5: Bringing It All Together
Return the cooked linguine to the skillet with the sauce. Toss it gently to coat the pasta evenly. Add the sautéed lobster meat back into the skillet, along with the chopped parsley. Toss the ingredients together until they are well combined and heated through.
Step 6: Serving and Enjoying
Transfer the linguine with lobster to serving plates. Garnish with additional chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side. The citrusy touch of lemon adds a burst of freshness to the dish. Now, all that’s left to do is grab your fork and savor each delectable bite!
Enjoy your homemade linguine with lobster masterpiece and impress your loved ones with your culinary skills. This luxurious dish is perfect for special occasions or when you simply want to treat yourself to a gourmet seafood feast at home.
