Description

A decadent seafood pasta recipe featuring tender lobster meat and linguine tossed in a creamy, wine-infused bisque sauce. Perfect for special occasions or when you want a restaurant-quality meal at home.

Ingredients
  • 2 lobster tails (or 1½ cups cooked lobster meat)
  • 8 oz linguine or fettuccine
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 small shallot, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine (e.g., Sauvignon Blanc)
  • 1/4 cup tomato paste
  • 2 cups seafood or lobster stock
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 lemon Juice
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish
  • Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)
Instructions
  1. 1
    If using whole lobster tails, boil or steam them for 5–7 minutes until the shells are bright red. Cool slightly, then remove the meat and chop into bite-sized pieces.
  2. 2
    Boil pasta in salted water according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
  3. 3
    In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic. Cook for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
  4. 4
    Pour in white wine, scraping up any browned bits. Let it reduce by half—about 3–4 minutes.
  5. 5
    Stir in tomato paste, seafood stock, and seasonings. Simmer for 5–7 minutes until slightly thickened. Then, stir in heavy cream and lemon juice. Simmer an additional 2–3 minutes.
  6. 6
    Fold in the cooked lobster meat and drained pasta. Toss to coat thoroughly. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta water for desired consistency.
  7. 7
    Garnish with chopped parsley, freshly cracked black pepper, and a sprinkle of Parmesan if desired. Serve hot with crusty bread or a light green salad.
