  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 3-4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 container (16 oz) Trader Joe’s Lobster Bisque
  • 8 oz pasta (penne, rigatoni, or short pasta of choice)
  • 8 oz Trader Joe’s frozen cooked langostino tails (thawed)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small shallot, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water.
  2. Prepare the sauce base: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and shallots; sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
  3. Add the lobster bisque: Pour the Trader Joe’s Lobster Bisque into the skillet and stir to combine with garlic and shallots. Simmer gently for 4-5 minutes to heat through.
  4. Incorporate langostino tails: Add the thawed langostino tails to the bisque sauce, stirring gently to coat. Cook for 2-3 minutes until heated but not overcooked.
  5. Combine pasta and sauce: Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the bisque and langostino. Toss to coat evenly. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a tablespoon at a time until desired consistency.
  6. Add finishing touches: Stir in lemon juice, lemon zest, and grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve: Plate the pasta, garnish with fresh parsley or chives, and extra Parmesan if desired. Enjoy immediately!

Notes

  • For extra richness, stir in 2 tbsp heavy cream or mascarpone cheese.
  • Swap langostino tails for cooked shrimp or lobster meat if preferred.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a mild spicy kick.
  • Leftovers keep well refrigerated for 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of cream or milk.
