Variations for this  spicy lobster spaghetti

First, and like most of my recipes that involve pasta you can substitute the shape to fit your taste. I do have a preference I like a long pasta in this recipe, either spaghetti or bucatini .

Second, you can adjust your level of heat. If you like spice add more chili flakes or less depending on your taste. You can also use Calabrian chili peppers a type of chili pepper that are grown in the Calabria region of Southern Italian. They are a staple in Southern Italy cuisine and are known for their unique flavor and intense heat.

And lastly, I used two frozen lobster tails that I defrosted before cooking. You can use more than two or this spicy lobster spaghetti recipes works well with large shrimp too.
