Instructions
Cook linguine according to the package instructions and save the pasta water. Place a large skillet over medium high heat with the avocado oil and 3 tablespoons of butter. Give it a slight swirl to combine the fats. Once the pan butter is melted (make sure not to brown) add the shallots, garlic and crushed red pepper, mix and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until onions are translucent. Deglaze the pan of sauteed veggies with ¼ cup of white wine. Add the capers and mix all of the ingredients together, then add the remainder of the butter. Add the shrimp and lobster to the hot skillet and cook until they are light pink. Add 3 tablespoons of the pasta water and season with salt, to taste. Reduce heat to low-medium. Place the cooked linguine into the skillet and gently toss using tongs, into the garlic sauce making sure all pasta is coated, and let it heat for 2-3 minutes. Add the parsley, then squeeze the lemon juice over the entire skillet, mix again and top with shaved parmesan cheese and serve.
