Creamy Jerk Lobster Pasta is such a vibe ! This dish is perfect for date night at home or when you are feeling fancy and want a flavorful meal with premium seafood.
I normally stock up on lobster tails during the holidays – usually most grocers have them for $5-$8 a tail in their weekly sale ads around the holidays
This pasta combines dry Jamaican Jerk seasoning (I used the JCS Boston Dry Jerk seasoning brand but you can use any Jamaican Jerk seasoning of your choice )
