In a large pot, boil pasta water on medium-high. Once boiling, add 3tbsp shrimp bouillon (or salt). Cook pasta until al dente and set aside (toss with 1tbsp butter or 1tbsp oil to prevent sticking). *NOTE: keep 3 cups of the pasta water!
In a large pan with sides, heat 8tbsp Land O Lakes® salted butter and 1tbsp olive oil on medium heat. Add lobster tail shells and cook for 5 minutes, or until red. Remove from the pan.
Reduce heat to low. Add lobster meat and cook on low for about 5 minutes, or until lobster meat is white and pink. Remove lobster meat with a slotted spoon.
Add shallot and garlic and cook for 2 minutes or until fragrant. Add white wine to deglaze the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes or until most of the wine has absorbed.
Add tomatoes and cook for 15 minutes or until they start to blister and burst. Once done, add cooked pasta, lobster meat, 2tbsp Land O Lakes® salted butter, parsley and lemon juice. Mix to combine. Taste for salt and Enjoy!
