Ingredients
- Linguine
- Fresh lobster tails
- Large dry-packed scallops
- Fresh garlic
- Unsalted butter
- Fresh parsley
- Red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Cook the Linguine: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve about 1 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
- Prepare the Seafood: While the pasta is cooking, prepare the lobster and scallops. If using lobster tails, carefully cut them in half and remove the meat. Cut the scallops in half if they are large.
- Sauté the Garlic: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Add the Seafood: Add the lobster and scallops to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the scallops are opaque and the lobster is cooked through.
- Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked linguine to the skillet. Pour in the reserved pasta water gradually, mixing until the linguine is well coated with the garlic butter sauce.
- Season: Stir in chopped parsley, red pepper flakes, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve: Divide the linguine among plates and garnish with extra parsley and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for added flair. Enjoy immediately!
