In a large pot of boiling salted water over medium heat, add the pasta and cook until al dente. Drain the pasta and reserve.

Add 1 tablespoons olive oil to a sauté pan medium heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the shallots and garlic and sauté until translucent. Add the lobster tails and claws, sauté until firm.  Add ½ cup dry sherry, reduce by half.  Add 3 cups of pasta, season with salt & pepper.  Add the sauce, heat thoroughly in pan or put in a greased baking dish.
