Lobster Pasta in Garlic Butter Sauce Recipe from Seafood Madness

You don't always have to eat lobster in the traditional manner - broiled, steamed, etc. Here's a great recipe that sautees the lobster meat and incorporates it into a silky butter sauce that is always so complimentary to lobster.

Ingredients

2 5-ounce lobster tails, shelled
10 asparagus spears, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, chopped
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
2 tablespoons butter
4 ounces Vermicelli noodles, prepared

Cooking Directions

Chop the lobster meat into chunks. It helps if the lobster is slightly frozen.
To a heated sauté pan, add lobster and 1 tablespoon olive oil and chopped asparagus. Cook 2 minutes.
Add garlic and jalapeno peppers. Cook 3 minutes. Toss or stir often.
Add remaining olive oil, butter, basil and Parmesan cheese. Stir until butter melts. Mix well.
Toss with Vermicelli and serve!

NOTE: The lobster meat should be opaque and cook through. You can cook longer if needed, but do not overcook or the meat will become tough.
