Print Recipe

A rich and creamy lobster Alfredo pasta with Cajun seasoning, perfect for a luxurious date night dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz fettuccine (or pasta of choice)
  • 2 lobster tails, cooked (meat removed and cut into chunks; shells optional for plating)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp Cajun seasoning (plus more to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 oz cream cheese, softened (optional, for extra creamy sauce)
  • 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley (for garnish)
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook pasta in salted water until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
  2. Pat lobster meat dry. Season lightly with Cajun seasoning and paprika.
  3. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil + 1 tbsp butter. Sear lobster chunks 1–2 minutes per side until lightly browned. Remove and set aside.
  4. Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining 1 tbsp butter and sauté garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Pour in heavy cream and whisk in cream cheese (if using) until smooth. Simmer 2–3 minutes.
  6. Stir in Parmesan until melted and creamy. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes if desired.
  7. Toss cooked pasta into the sauce. Add a splash of reserved pasta water as needed to get a glossy, silky coat.
  8. Top with seared lobster (and place lobster tail shell on the side for that dramatic look). Finish with parsley and a light sprinkle of Cajun seasoning.

Notes

  • Use fresh lobster for the best flavor.
  • Adjust Cajun seasoning to your preferred spice level.
  • Reserve pasta water to adjust sauce consistency.
