2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large shallot, finely chopped
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 pound cherry and/or Sun Gold tomatoes, halved
1 pound picked cooked lobster meat or cooked large shrimp
Freshly ground black pepper

Cook spaghetti in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta cooking liquid (the secret to silky sauce).

3
Add lobster meat to skillet and toss to coat. Add pasta and 1/2 cup reserved pasta cooking liquid; season with salt and pepper.

Cook, tossing constantly and adding more reserved pasta cooking liquid as needed, until sauce thickens and coats pasta, about 2 minutes.
5
Serve pasta topped with lemon zest, with lemon wedges alongside for squeezing over.
