Make Joe Beef’s Lobster Spaghetti Recipe Without Killing a Lobster

The author recently visited Joe Beef in Montreal and was impressed by the lobster spaghetti dish. The author's husband loved the dish, but the author was hesitant to make it at home because the recipe required boiling a live lobster. The author doesn't enjoy killing animals for food and was looking for a workaround. The author decided to use lobster tails instead of whole lobsters and developed a recipe that doesn't require boiling a live lobster. The author used shrimp shells to make a shell-infused sauce, which is a key component of the Joe Beef recipe. The author cooked the lobster tail meat in the finished sauce and served it with spaghetti and bacon. The author adapted the Joe Beef recipe to serve two people and made some changes to the original recipe, including using tarragon instead of parsley as a garnish. The resulting dish is delicious and romantic, and the author has made it several times for special occasions. The author provides a detailed recipe for the adapted Joe Beef lobster tail spaghetti dish.
