Creamy Lobster and Shrimp Spaghetti with Fresh Tomatoes is an elegant pasta dish featuring tender seafood, juicy tomatoes, and a velvety cream sauce. It’s quick to prepare and perfect for special dinners or indulgent weeknights.

Ingredients

  • 12 oz spaghetti or linguine
  • 1/2 lb cooked lobster meat, chopped
  • 1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
  • 1/3 cup white wine or seafood broth
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Fresh basil or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional: lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Cook spaghetti in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and reserve 1/2 cup pasta water.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side until just pink. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add halved tomatoes and cook until softened, about 3–4 minutes.
  4. Pour in wine or broth. Simmer for 2–3 minutes to reduce slightly.
  5. Stir in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Add parmesan and stir until melted and smooth.
  6. Add lobster and shrimp to the sauce and stir to warm through.
  7. Add cooked pasta and toss to coat. Use reserved pasta water to loosen sauce as needed.
  8. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve with lemon wedges if desired.

Notes

  • Substitute lobster with crab or scallops for variety.
  • Use coconut milk or half-and-half for a lighter version of the sauce.
  • Fresh spinach or arugula can be stirred in at the end for added greens.
  • Use seafood broth instead of wine for an alcohol-free option.
  • Reheat gently to avoid overcooking the seafood.
