Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lobster tails
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 oz linguine
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lemon, juiced
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the linguine according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
