Recipe of the week: Lobster and prawn with arabiatta linguine

Lobster from Scotland in particular has a wonderfully sweet and fresh flavour. Try this luxurious and surprisingly quick dish – one of the very best ways to eat lobster. Linguine is perfect for this dish as its flat shape means it retains the sauce and flavours well, making it even tastier – enjoy with a glass of Macon Uchizy French Burgundy. Prep time 20 minutes; cooking time 30 minutes. Serves 4. Lobster and prawn with arabiatta linguine Ingredients 2 whole Scottish lobsters (500g-600g each) 12 peeled/divined raw tiger prawns 400g dried linguine 500g chopped tinned plum tomatoes 50g roughly chopped red onion 10g deseeded roughly chopped red chills 2 cloves garlic 20ml olive oil 50ml port 100ml red wine 10g sugar 5g Malden salt 10g coriander 10g basil 1 bay leaf 1 lemon 100g cherry tomatoes 50g rocket 100g butter 50g finely chopped shallots 10g chopped parsley 10g picked chervil Directions 1.
