Ingredients

  • 12 oz spaghetti
  • 6 oz lobster meat, cooked and chopped
  • 8 oz shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 tbsp fresh basil or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1 tsp lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook spaghetti in salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
  2. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Add shrimp and cook for 2–3 minutes until pink. Stir in lobster and cook for another 1–2 minutes.
  4. Add cherry tomatoes and cook until slightly softened, about 2–3 minutes.
  5. Pour in heavy cream and stir to combine. Simmer for 3–4 minutes.
  6. Stir in grated Parmesan until melted and sauce is smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
  7. Add cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss to coat. Use reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce as needed.
  8. Garnish with fresh herbs and lemon zest. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Substitute lobster with crab or scallops for variety.
  • Use half-and-half or a splash of white wine for a lighter sauce.
  • Add spinach, arugula, or sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor.
  • Thaw and pat dry frozen seafood before using.
  • Reheat gently on the stovetop with extra cream or broth to keep seafood tender.
