This Lobster Tomato Cream Sauce recipe is so delicious. I love seafood pasta recipes, especially lobster and shrimp- Steamed Lobsters with a Delicious Vodka Tomato Cream Sauce over Fettucini pasta. This week Paul Rankin shares a LOBSTER dish with a delicious Direct Cellars White Wine.
Lobster in Vodka Tomato Cream Sauce over Fettuccine
It’s best when the lobster and herbs are fresh, but you can use dried herbs when cooking any of these amazing and delicious seafood recipes. Here is the Best Lobster recipe ever:
Ingredients:
2 lobsters Live
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
a tablespoon Whole Butter
2 Garlic clove Minced
1 Shallot Minced
a package of fettuccine pasta
jar of Marinara Sauce
1//4 cup Parmesan Cheese
1/2 cup Heavy Cream
1/2 cup Vodka
1/8 cup loosely packed tarragon leaves, chopped, plus small leaves for garnish
a cup of Roma tomatoes, diced
3 fresh basil leaves, chopped
1 lemon, zest
White Pepper to taste
Kosher Salt to taste
Directions:
Start by cooking the live lobsters ahead of time. Then you take the meat out of the shell so you have just the lobster meat from 2 lobsters
Add butter to pan and melt and add the shallot and garlic to the butter on medium heat!! Allow the garlic and clove to flavor the butter. 1 to 2 minutes.
Next, saute the Lobster in the pan until just starts to sizzle well. then De Glaze the pan by carefully adding the Vodka and diced tomatoes, being careful not to flame too large!!! The alcohol will burn off. Stir in the tarragon, basil, and lemon zest.
Then lower heat to medium-low and add the heavy cream; cook for 3 – 5 minutes, until sauce thickens. Cover and keep warm over low heat.
Next, you add the Marinara sauce. About a half jar to 2 dinners!!!
Then you top off fettuccine. And finish with the Parmesan cheese. Allow to set and thicken. Squeeze lemon over lobster.
Serve over fettuccine noodles. Garnish with tarragon leaves and serve.

ENJOY!
Note:
-When possible, use organic tomatoes or jarred sauces. You will experience less heartburn.
-I love tomatoes and usually add some diced tomatoes, even to jarred sauces.
– This cream sauce is just as delicious with shrimp. I usually combine the lobster with the shrimp in most dishes I make.
