I am planning Christmas Eve and am looking for a pasta dish to serve as the main course. I am particularly interested in those that contain shrimp or lobster (or both).
Was thinking of a non-tomato based sauce, like a reduction of some sort or a lite creamy sauce.
I thought to do some broiled sliced lobster tail with cracker crumbs, butter, and garlic but thought it might be too dry.
Any recipes or ideas to share?
Here's the menu so far:
Appys:
Fried calamari
Grilled scallops wrapped in bacon
Mini crab cakes
1st Course:
Baked clams
Mom's Italian Shrimp Salad
2nd Course
Dads Mussels with Garlic, Bacon, Cream sauce
Main:
Pasta

CREAM CHEESE AND SEAFOOD STUFFED SHELLS
These savory shells make a marvelous main dish or appetizer and are surprisingly easy to make. The filling can be spooned into the shells, or it can be piped in with a very large tip and bag for a more decorative finish. Finely chopped imitation crabmeat can be used in place of the real crab if desired.
36 jumbo pasta shells, cooked and cooled to room temperature
16 oz. softened cream cheese
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 Tblsp. sugar
1 tsp. lemon juice
Pinch cayenne pepper
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 lb. picked over lump crabmeat
6 oz. cooked salad shrimp
2 bunches minced scallions
Beat together the cream cheese, mayonnaise, sugar, lemon juice, cayenne, salt, and pepper until smooth. Fold in the crabmeat, shrimp, and scallions until evenly combined. Stuff the shells with the mixture and place on a serving dish. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least an hour and up to 12 hours before serving. Makes 6 dinner servings and 12 appetizer servings.

Ooooh, I like your menu, Sue! Why couldn't you do your lobster as a scampi? Or do a Shrimp Scampi. This scampi recipe is the best I have ever had. I make it often we love it so much.
Ultimate Shrimp Scampi
From Allrecipes submitted by: Slipmaloney
1 (16 ounce) package angel hair pasta
1/2 cup butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup minced onion
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 dash Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon dry white wine
1 pound peeled and deveined medium shrimp
1/2 cup Asiago cheese, diced
1 large avocado - peeled, pitted and diced
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the angel hair pasta, and cook until al dente, 2 to 3 minutes; drain.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, onion, parsley, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and white wine. Once the mixture begins to bubble, increase the heat to medium-high, and stir in the shrimp. Cook and stir until the shrimp turn pink, and are no longer transparent in the center, about 5 minutes.
Serve the scampi over a bed of angel hair pasta, and sprinkle with Asiago cheese and avocado to serve.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here are a couple more that might work for you.
Shrimp and Asparagus Linguini with Pesto Cream
8 oz uncooked linguini
1 lb asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2 inch pieces
1 T butter
3/4 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
8 oz mushrooms, sliced
1/2 c half-n-half
1 T flour
1/3 c purchased pesto
In large saucepan, cook linguini as directed on package, adding asparagus during last 3-5 minutes of cooking time. Cook until tender, drain and return to pot. Cover to keep warm
Meanwhile, in large skillet, meld butter over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and mushrooms, cook 3 minutes.
In small bowl, combine half-n-half and flour, blend well. Add flour mixture to shrimp, cook and stir over medium heat until mixture is bubbly and thickened.
Add shrimp mixture and pesto to cooked linguini, toss gently to coat.
Serves 4
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GREEK-STYLE PASTA WITH SHRIMP
1/4 cup olive oil
4 teaspoons minced garlic
1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled, deveined
1 1/2 cups drained canned artichoke hearts, chopped
1 1/2 cups crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup chopped seeded tomatoes
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh oregano or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried
12 ounces angel hair pasta or linguine
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic and sauté 30 seconds. Add shrimp and sauté until almost cooked through, about 2 minutes. Add artichokes, feta, tomatoes, lemon juice, parsley and oregano and sauté until shrimp are cooked through, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain. Transfer pasta to large bowl.
Add shrimp mixture to pasta and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
Serves 4.
Bon Appétit

My notes: This is also good with chicken in place of the shrimp. Add cheese last and do not cook longer than instructions.

This dish is very simple but it's extraordinarily good. We love it. Thanks again Gina!
Lemon Linguine With Scampi (Gina)
Vegetable oil
1 Tbl kosher salt plus 1/2 teaspoons
3/4 Lb linguine
3 Tbl unsalted butter
2 1/2 Tbl good olive oil
1 1/2 Tbl minced garlic (4 cloves)
1 Lb large shrimp (about 16 shrimp)peeled and deveined
1/4 Tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/3 Cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/2 lemon zest grated
1/4 Cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 lemons)
1/4 lemon thinly sliced in half-rounds
1/8 Tsp hot red pepper flakes
Drizzle some oil in a large pot of boiling salted water, add 1 tablespoon of salt and the linguine, and cook for 7 to 10 minutes, or according to the directions on the package.
Meanwhile, in another large (12-inch), heavy-bottomed pan, melt the butter and olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the garlic. Saute for 1 minute. Be careful, the garlic burns easily! Add the shrimp, 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt, and the pepper and saute until the shrimp have just turned pink, about 5 minutes, stirring often. Remove from the heat, add the parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice, lemon slices, and red pepper flakes. Toss to combine.
When the pasta is done, drain the cooked linguine and then put it back in the pot. Immediately add the shrimp and sauce, toss well, and serve.
My note: I've added some white wine and more lemon if I want extra broth in a pasta bowl for sopping up with bread.

I used to love seafood in a saffron cream sauce over pasta, with a bit of tomato paste in a tube to give it bright color and flavor. I don't have a recipe!

I make this dish with lobster claw and knuckle meat.
I sautee slivered onions, red peppers and aspagus in butter and then add the lobster and some dry sherry or white wine and S & P, simmer for a couple of minutes and serve over pasta. That's the basic recipe. Sometimes I add chopped fresh herbs or other spices but not too much because I like the flavor of the ingredients to shine through.
It wasn't until I looked through my photos that I realized how Christmas-y the colors looked.

What about spicy crab sauce over linguini? Just your standard marinara with white wine and garlic and red pepper flakes with crab added. One of my favorite dishes at a local Italian restaurant.

Olive oil, minced anchovies, garlic, hot pepper sauce, some coarse-ground black pepper, a squeeze of Meyer lemon - saute the shrimp in all this until cooked, about 3 min. Drain your hot pasta, throw in the sauce and shrimp, add lots of grated Parmesan!

I've made this one several times and it is really good! It was posted by "SteelMagnolias" originally.
Cajun Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo
2 lbs. large green shrimp, peeled, rinsed and drained
Cajun/creole seasoning, to taste
1 cup butter, divided
8-oz. package cream cheese, softened
3 c. heavy cream
2 cloves garlic, minced (We like garlic in fairly moderate amounts. If you're wild about it, you'll probably want to use 3 or 4 cloves.)
3/4 cup freshly-grated Parmesan, divided
1 lb. fettucini
Italian parsley, minced (for garnish -- optional but definitely adds to the visual appeal)
Sprinkle shrimp on both sides with c/c seasoning. (How generous you are depends on what you're using and who you're serving, of course. I highly recommend mixing your own spice blend so you can adjust the heat to preference and avoid the icky saltiness of the commercial stuff.) Melt 1/2 cup butter in large skillet over medium heat and saute shrimp, stirring frequently, until just done. Set aside and keep warm.
Boil water for fettuccini; cook according to package directions ... or a lot longer if your kids are like mine and think the true definition of 'al dente' is "raw". :) Drain well.
Melt remaining butter in a second large skillet. Add cream cheese, stirring constantly to melt. Add cream and minced garlic. Simmer gently over low heat, continuing to stir constantly, until sauce thickens somewhat (approx. 6-7 min.)
Stir in about 1/4 c. of Parmesan cheese. Remove from heat, stirring until Parmesan has melted and sauce is smooth.
Toss shrimp with sauce. Spoon over hot fettuccini, sprinkling each portion with additional grated Parmesan and minced parsley.

This is a favorite of ours - very impressive to serve to company. Delicious.
For just us, I have used rigatoni or penne - easier.
I made gina's shrimp scampi -lemon linguine last night. I used a rice spaghetti - it was delicious. The rice spaghetti gave it a different taste. (I wanted to try the rice spaghetti)Good idea to add wine and more lemon juice - I will do that next time!

This is a bastardized version of a Commander's Palace recipe.
SHRIMP AND ANGEL HAIR PASTA
Serves 4
8 Tblsp (1 stick) butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 onion diced
1 can original style stewed tomatoes, DRAINED WELL ON PAPER TOWELS
1 tsp Tony Cachere's
1/4 cup bottled clam juice
1 pkg fresh angel hair pasta (in diary case in most stores)
1 to 1 1/2 lbs shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 cup dry white wine
Melt half of butter in a large skillet and saute garlic, onions and tomatoes, for a minute or so, stirring gently. Add clam juice and simmer until onions are transparent.
While cooking onions, etc., cook angel hair pasta according to package directions. DO NOT OVERCOOK (this is the voice of experience!). Drain.
Add raw shrimp and wine to onion mixture, and simmer until liquid is almost evaporated. Add cooked angel hair pasta. Toss all together.
Remove pan from heat, add remaining butter, and stir gently until butter is melted and sauce is creamy. Serve immediately.

The recipes on this thread have been tempting and pulling me in every which direction, but out of the blue I got an email from an old friend today and when we got to talking she mentioned a seafood lasagna that I couldn't pass up trying. I made it with shrimp and sea scallop, but when I make it for Christmas dinner (yes, that was very quickly agreed upon!) I'll add lobster meat to the mix.
Consider it T&T and highly recommended.

More good stuff. Thank you everyone.
Blizlady, Not sure what the origins of this salad is but my beloved Mom made it for as far back as I can remember; I think my my Grandmother made it too.
This is a very basic recipe that highlights the freshness of the ingredients. You may be disappointed to learn that it doesn't call for mayo, but I urge you to give it a try. The flavors are fresh and bright. It is not Christmas Eve without it and everyone looks forward to it.
The measurements are only a guess, it really is done to taste.
Mom's Shrimp Salad
3-4 lbs jumbo boiled shrimp*, cut into 4 pieces crosswise.
4-5 stalks celery, sliced about 1/4" thick (on a slight bias). Cut the wider part of the stalk into two pieces lengthwise before slicing.
2-3 garlic cloves, minced (I used a garlic press)
Juice of 1 - 1 1/2 lemons
Good quality extra virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
Toss shrimp, celery, garlic together.
Add lemon juice and drizzle a few tablespoons olive oil.
Lightly salt,toss.
Serve chilled or room temp.
*I buy the 4lb bags of shrimo at Costco, the ones that are by the fresh fish and sometimes sold at the kiosk. They are already deveined and cleaned; one only has to defrost (I defrost them in cool water) and remove the shells.
To a pot of water I add lemon slices, pepper corns, bayleaf, and any other herb or spice I feel like including (coriander is good too). Once at a boil, I add some salt.
Add shrimp and wait until pot returns to a boil. Check for doneness every so often. Once done, drain in colander and rinse with cold water.
To trim shrimp, remove the 'beard' (its the overcooked flap of overcooked shrimp where the head was), and pull off the strips that looked ragged along each side of the slit. The cats are treated to these scraps.
Sue

I made the Lemon Shrimp last night and it was very good. I suspect the 1.5 teaspoons of salt added to the shrimp was not correct as it made the shrimp very salty. Next time I will use 1/2 teaspoon and reduce the lemon by a tablespoon (it's me, not the dish!)
We also added wine as someone else mentioned in the WFD thread. Like I said, it was very good and definitely a keeper. Thanks Gina and Sharon.

Ann - Looks great, as always. Simple and elegant; I wouldn't have thought to leave the shells on for something like this. I'm sure they add flavor to the broth, help the lobster cook more gently and add an intersting presentation without being annoying to pick off. [Unlike shrimp tails which do none of the above and annoy me to no end unless the shrimp are meant to be eaten as finger food!]

Ann your lobster pasta dish looks really good. I saw it on your blog and saved to make for another day.
FOAS, that piece of seafood lasagna looks great. I have always wanted to try that type of lasagna but haven't because I'm scarred of it being dry and spending all that money on seafood. Is it as creamy as your picture shows?
