Directions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the spaghetti and cook for about 8-10 minutes or until al dente. Drain and reserve about a cup of the pasta water.
- If using uncooked lobster tails, boil them in water for 5-7 minutes until bright red. Remove and cool, then extract meat and chop into bite-sized pieces.
- In a skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not burnt.
- Stir in the red chili flakes and cook for another minute to infuse the garlic oil.
- Toss the cooked spaghetti and chopped lobster into the skillet, coating the pasta well with garlic oil. Season with salt, pepper, lemon zest, and juice.
- In a separate pan, heat olive oil and toast the breadcrumbs until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt.
- Plate the Lobster Spaghetti and generously sprinkle the crispy breadcrumbs on top with fresh parsley. Add Parmesan if desired.

Notes
Serve with white wine and a fresh salad for a complete experience. Store leftovers separately to maintain crunch of breadcrumbs.
