Instructions

Cook Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine or fettuccine and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes depending on package instructions. Drain the pasta and set aside.
Sauté Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook until translucent, approximately 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add Curry Powder: Stir in the curry powder, toasting it in the skillet for 1-2 minutes to release its flavors. Stir continuously to prevent burning.
Simmer Sauce: Pour in the coconut milk and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Let the mixture simmer gently for 5-7 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Incorporate Lobster: Carefully fold the chopped lobster meat into the sauce. Heat through gently for 2-3 minutes to warm the lobster without overcooking.
Toss Pasta: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the creamy lobster curry sauce.
Add Lime Juice: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the pasta and toss once more to combine all the flavors harmoniously.
Garnish and Serve: Plate the pasta and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and a sprinkle of chili flakes if desired, to add a touch of heat. Serve immediately.

Notes

For best lobster flavor, use freshly cooked or high-quality frozen lobster meat.
Adjust the curry powder quantity based on your preferred spice level.
If you prefer a lighter dish, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream or additional coconut milk.
Chili flakes are optional but recommended if you enjoy a bit of heat.
Fresh lime juice adds brightness; avoid bottled lime juice for best flavor.
This dish pairs well with a crisp white wine or sparkling water with lemon.
