Lobster Scampi

By Jen Paleracio | February 14, 2021

So simple and easy to make but so flavorful! My cousin was so generous and gifted me a huge bag of lobster claws. There were maybe 10 cooked lobster claws in that bag. I just use my kitchen knife to cut through the shells and pulled out the lobster meat. Yes, it’s that easy! The sauce is so flavorful and there are only six ingredients.

I used only half the package of the pasta, about 8 oz. Cup of spinach, 8 oz. lobster meat, juice of one lemon, zest of one lemon, four tablespoons butter, four garlic cloves, and red chili pepper flakes. Very simple, I sautéed everything in in the pan, and added the cooked pasta. Viola, dinner is served!
You can buy ready-cooked lobster meat. I cooked about ten lobster claws and pulled out the meat. Cut them into bite-sized pieces and add them to the rest of the ingredients.
