Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lobster

    Start by preparing the lobster tails. Using kitchen shears, cut the top shell of each lobster tail lengthwise. Gently pull apart the shell to expose the meat.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add Tomatoes and Wine

    Pour in the crushed tomatoes and white wine into the skillet. Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Flavor the Sauce

    Add the fresh basil, salt, and black pepper to the sauce. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  5. 5

    Cook the Lobster

    Place the lobster tails meat-side up into the sauce and cover the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the lobster is cooked through and opaque.

  6. 6

    Cook the Spaghetti

    While the lobster is cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  7. 7

    Combine and Serve

    Once the lobster is cooked, gently toss the cooked spaghetti into the skillet with the sauce and lobster. Serve hot, garnished with additional basil if desired.
