Add a sprinkle of fresh parsley and a crisp glass of champagne, and you've got a dish that feels like summer on the Carolina coast.

Ingredients

• 2–4 small lobster tails, meat removed and chopped

• 8–10 large shrimp, peeled and deveined (optional addition)

• 2 cloves garlic, finely diced

• 1 cup champagne (or prosecco or dry white wine)

• 1 stick (or more) unsalted butter

•  A handful of fresh parsley, chopped

• Salt & freshly ground black pepper

•  12 oz linguini or pasta of choice

  
  

Instructions

1.   Cook the Pasta - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook your pasta until just al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.

2.    Build the Sauce - In a large sauté pan, melt butter over medium heat until sizzling. Add the garlic and cook for no more than 1 minute—just until fragrant.

3.   Add the Champagne - Pour in the champagne and let it bubble for a minute or two to reduce slightly and deepen in flavor.

4.   Cook the Seafood - Add chopped lobster meat (and shrimp, if using), then reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Cook just until the seafood is opaque and tender—about 2 to 3 minutes. Be careful not to overcook.

5.    Bring It All Together - Toss in the drained pasta and stir to coat in the luscious sauce. If the mixture feels dry, add a bit of reserved pasta water until it reaches your desired consistency.

6. Finish & Serve - Turn off the heat, add a final pat of butter, sprinkle with parsley, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately with crusty bread and a chilled glass of bubbly.
