Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lobster

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spiny lobster tails and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they turn opaque. Remove the lobster, let cool, then chop into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Cook the Orzo

    In the same pot, add the orzo and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté Ingredients

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add cherry tomatoes, smoked chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Sauté until the tomatoes begin to burst, about 3-5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combine Everything

    Add the cooked orzo and lobster pieces to the skillet. Pour in the lemon juice and toss everything together to combine well. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until everything is heated through.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
