Directions:
Cook lobsters/shrimp in boiling water 15 – 20 min (I let Kroger cook my lobsters) –boil my own shrimp and use that water for linguine.
Place lobster in a bowl to cool. Crack and pick shells SAVING ALL OF THE JUICE FOR SAUCE.
Saute mushrooms in ¼ cup butter til brown (use as much butter as you need – I have used most of a stick). Minced green pepper can be added half way. Add lobster and just sauté 2 min.
Mix 2 cans of soup with reserved lobster juice (add some cream too)
Cook linguine in lobster/shrimp water and drain.
Add linguine and soup mixture to mushrooms, green pepper and lobster. Add pimento.
At this point, if it is at all dry, add more cream.

It may be covered and frozen at this point if you like, OTHERWISE
