Place the lobster halves, meat-side down, into the skillet with the onion and garlic mixture. Cook for approximately 3 minutes, allowing the lobster meat to lightly sear and absorb the flavors. (3 minutes)

Recipe View 2 mins Pour the creamy tomato sauce over the spaghetti, distributing it evenly. Arrange the two lobster halves artfully on top of the pasta. Garnish generously with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately and savor the exquisite flavors. (2 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of dry white wine to the skillet after cooking the onions and garlic, allowing it to reduce slightly before adding the tomatoes.
Be careful not to overcook the lobster, as it can become tough. The internal temperature should reach 140°F.
Fresh spaghetti or linguine would also work beautifully in this dish.
Adjust the amount of cinnamon to your preference. A little goes a long way!
If you don't have fresh lobster, you can use frozen lobster tails, but be sure to thaw them completely before cooking.

    I substituted shrimp for the lobster (due to allergies) and it turned out great too!
