Steps

1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the linguine according to package instructions until al dente.
2. Meanwhile, in a skillet, heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
3. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
4. Add the lobster tail, cut side down, and cook for about 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until cooked through.
5. Once the linguine is cooked, reserve a bit of the pasta water and drain the rest.
6. Add the cooked linguine to the skillet with the garlic butter sauce, and toss to combine. If needed, add a bit of reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce.
7. Squeeze lemon juice over the pasta and season with salt and pepper to taste.
