INGREDIENTS:

【For The Imitation Lobster Meat】 ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ
1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 clove Garlic
4 oz. Imitation lobster meat
【For The Paste】 ㅤ ㅤ
1 Qt Hot Water
12 oz. Fettuccine
【For The Scallops & Lobster】 ㅤㅤ ㅤ
1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
2 large Scallops
⅛ tsp Salt
1 tbsp Butter
1 medium Lobster tails
2 tbsp White wine
⅛ tsp Thyme
【For The Egg Yolk】 ㅤ ㅤ
6 large Egg yolk
½ cup Grated parmesan cheese
¼ tsp Ground black pepper
【Garnish】 ㅤ ㅤ
1 tbsp Chopped parsley
1 tsp Mediterranean spiced bread crumbs (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

Step 1

To prepare the carbonara, start by putting the water for the pasta on the fire and add salt.

Step 2

Heat a drizzle of oil in a saucepan, add the peeled and sliced clove of garlic. Add the lobster and cook for 1 minute.

Step 3

Remover the lobster and set aside. Add the scallops to the pan and let cook one side for 3 minutes. Add salt on the raw side. Once one side is cooked, turn the scallops to cook the other side and add salt to the previously cooked side.

Step 4

Now add the butter and the lobster tail. Add the wine to the saucepan and let it cook until all the alcohol has evaporated about 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 5

Now remove both, lobster and scallops and set aside.

Step 6

As soon as the pasta is al dente, drain the fettuccine, and put them in the same pan. Add a little bit of thyme and nutmeg. Then cook for about a minute, stirring continuously, so that the starches are released from the pasta, and adding the cooking water as needed.
