This Gluten-Free Greek Seafood Dish features succulent lobster paired with gluten-free pasta, infused with Mediterranean flavors. It is a delightful combination of seafood and fresh ingredients, perfect for a special occasion.

Ingredients

• Lobster tails - 2 (about 250g each)
• Gluten-free pasta (e.g. rice pasta) - 150g
• Olive oil - 3 tablespoons
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Cherry tomatoes - 200g, halved
• Fresh basil - 1/4 cup, chopped
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Red pepper flakes - 1/2 teaspoon (optional)
• Parmesan cheese - 30g, grated (optional, for serving)

Steps

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gluten-free pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. While the pasta is cooking, prepare the lobster tails by cutting them in half lengthwise and removing any tomalley (green substance).
3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
4. Place the lobster halves in the skillet, cut side down, and cook for about 4-5 minutes. Flip the lobster and add the halved cherry tomatoes.
5. Squeeze the lemon juice over the lobster and tomatoes, and season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Cook for another 4-5 minutes until the lobster is cooked through.
6. Add the cooked gluten-free pasta to the skillet, tossing gently to combine with the lobster and tomatoes. Stir in the chopped basil and adjust seasoning if necessary.
7. Serve immediately, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
