How is lobster with something like Fettuccine Alfredo?
Made this recently. Very easy. Substitute lobster pieces for the shrimp?

Shrimp Mushroom Fettucine Alfredo
Makes 4-6 Entrée servings
Ingredients:
* 1 pound shrimp (I used a pound of fully cooked, shelled, deveined frozen shrimp from grocery – probably smaller is better, so they are dispersed more evenly in the sauce). Thaw if frozen, remove tails, reserve the liquid from the package.
* Approx 2 tablespoons minced garlic
* 3-4 tablespoons butter or olive oil
* Approx ½ cup shredded mozzarella or other Italian cheese
* 1 pound fresh sliced mushrooms
* 1 jar, 16 ounces, creamy alfredo sauce (I used HyVee brand)
* Approx 2 tablespoons dried basil or parsley
* 8-16 ounce box fettucine, boil in separate pot for 9-10 minutes
Instructions, in a large, non-stick skillet at least 2” deep:
1) Sauté shrimp and garlic in about 1/3 of the butter or oil until lightly browned, remove from pan
2) Sauté mushrooms in same pan, until they are soft, brown, and cooked through, using additional butter or oil as needed
3) Start to boil the pasta 9-10 minutes
4) Add the shrimp back to the pan with the mushrooms, then pour in the alfredo sauce and reserved liquid from the shrimp, stir to combine, maintain at a low simmer
5) Add the basil or other herbs as desired
6) Before serving, stir in the mozzarella cheese
7) Serve over cooked linguine or other pasta
To extend the sauce for more servings, you might add a can of cream of mushroom soup, thinned with a little milk.
