| Preparation | Add salt to a gallon of water. The water should taste like the ocean. Bring water to a boil, add pasta and cook until pasta is done – soft but not mushy – "al dente" to the bite. Strain, cool and set aside. Cut lobster tail open lengthwise, season with Cajun spice, cook in a pan with 2 Tbsp of oil over medium-high heat, flesh-side down, then turn over after 4 minutes. Cook for another 3 minutes on the back side, and turn the burner to low.
In a separate pan, add white wine. Cook for a minute then add chicken stock, crushed tomatoes, Cajun spice and heavy cream. Bring to a boil and reduce by half.
Add shrimp. Cook for one minute, then add pasta, toss around and add scallions and crab meat. Add more cream if it's too spicy. Serve in a bowl with lobster tail on top and sprinkle with parsley. Enjoy!
