Nonnas Crab And Lobster With Spaghetti Recipes

AMAZING SEAFOOD PASTA WITH LOBSTER

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook bow-tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain, add 1 tablespoon butter, and stir. Set aside and keep warm.
• Melt remaining butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add shallot and cook until softened, about 1 minutes. Add cream and wine and bring to a boil. Add cayenne pepper, saffron, salt, and black pepper. Reduce heat to a low simmer for 10 minutes; sauce will not thicken.
• Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add shrimp and cook until opaque, 3 to 5 minutes. Add lobster and crab and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes more. Season lightly with salt and black pepper.
• Add seafood combination to the pot with the sauce and stir. Add lemon juice and simmer over low heat 10 minutes more.
• Serve cooked pasta in individual bowls with 2 ladles of sauce on top. Fold sauce gently into pasta and top with a dash of black pepper.

Steps:

• Heat grapeseed oil, garlic, crabs, and red-pepper flakes in a stockpot over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add tomato puree and 4 cups water. Bring to a boil.

Refrigerate in pot for at least 4 hours or up to overnight.
• Stir in remaining 1 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat, and simmer until crabs and lobster tails are heated through, about 5 minutes. Remove crabs and lobster tails; transfer to a serving bowl. Add preserved lemons, 2 teaspoons salt, and the pepper to sauce.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti until just al dente. Drain. Transfer to sauce, and gently toss to coat. Immediately transfer spaghetti to a platter, and serve with crabs and lobster tails.

CRAB & LEMON SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, feed in the spaghetti and cook for the time it says on the pack, stirring a couple of times to stop it sticking.
• Peel and finely chop the garlic; halve, seed and finely chop the chilli. Roughly chop the parsley. Open the can of crab meat and tip the contents into a sieve. Drain well.
• Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a large frying pan, add the garlic and chilli and fry for 1 minute. Tip the crab meat into the pan with the wine, season with salt and pepper and heat through for a minute or so, stirring.
• Drain the pasta, return it to the pan and tip in the crab mixture, the last tablespoon of oil and the parsley. Toss everything together and serve.

SARDINIAN LOBSTER SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a saucepan, and once sizzling add the onion and garlic.
• Cook for about three minutes and then add the brandy. Cook until the brandy has almost completely evaporated.
• Add the tomatoes, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes if using, and half the parsley. Cook for about 20 minutes or until thickened.
• Stir in just enough of the heavy cream to turn the sauce a dark coral pink color. Stir in the lobster meat, and keep warm.
• Cook the spaghetti until it is al dente. Drain. Toss the pasta with the lobster sauce, and serve garnished with a sprinkling of the remaining chopped parsley.
