How We Prepare Our Lobster Spaghetti
Our Lobster Spaghetti is meticulously prepared using traditional methods combined with a touch of modern culinary techniques:
Cooking the Lobster
We start by briefly cooking fresh lobster tails to make it easy to extract the delicate meat. The lobster is then cooled in iced water, ensuring the meat remains tender and flavorful.
Creating the Perfect Sauce
Our chefs sauté French shallots, garlic, and a pinch of chili flakes in extra virgin olive oil, allowing the flavors to meld perfectly. The sauce is then enhanced with fresh cherry tomatoes, white wine, and tomato purée, simmering until it thickens into a luscious base for the lobster.
Final Touches
After gently folding the lobster meat into the sauce, we finish the dish with a touch of cooking cream, lemon zest, and fresh herbs like parsley and chives. The al dente spaghetti is then mixed into the sauce, ensuring every bite is bursting with flavor.
