Creamy Langostino Pasta
Ingredients:
- 1 lb langostino tails, thawed (place in a colander and run cold water over them for approximately 5 minutes)
- 1 lb pasta (linguine or your preferred type)
- 1 can or container of lobster bisque soup (available at Walmart)
- Garlic powder, to taste
- Onion powder, to taste
- Parsley, to taste
- 2-3 tablespoons butter
- A drizzle of olive oil
- Grated Parmesan cheese, for topping
Directions:
- Cook the Pasta:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente.
- Once the pasta is cooked, drain it but do not rinse. You want to keep the pasta hot so it can absorb the flavors better.
- Prepare the Sauce:
- While the pasta is still hot, stir in the lobster bisque soup. Mix thoroughly so the pasta is evenly coated with the creamy soup.
- Prepare the Langostino Tails:
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add a drizzle of olive oil to the melted butter to prevent it from burning and to add extra flavor.
- Season the thawed langostino tails generously with garlic powder, onion powder, and parsley.
- Once the skillet is hot and the butter is fully melted, add the seasoned langostino tails.
- Cook the Langostino Tails:
- Sauté the langostino tails for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are heated through and lightly golden. Be careful not to overcook them, as they are already cooked and just need to be heated.
- Combine the Ingredients:
- Add the cooked langostino tails, along with the butter and oil from the skillet, into the pasta mixture.
- Gently toss everything together until the pasta is well-coated with the sauce and the langostino tails are evenly distributed.
- Serve:
- Transfer the creamy langostino pasta to serving plates.
- Top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and an extra sprinkle of parsley for garnish.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your deliciously creamy seafood pasta!
