Ingredients:
- 2 lobster tails, split in half
- 12 sea scallops
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions:
- Prepare the Lobster Tails: Split the lobster tails in half lengthwise. Gently remove the meat from the shell, but keep it attached at the end. Set aside.
- Prepare the Scallops: Pat the scallops dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, sear the scallops for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove scallops from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Lobster: In the same skillet, melt 1/4 cup of the butter. Add the lobster tails, flesh side down, and cook for about 4-5 minutes until the meat is opaque. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes, spooning the melted butter over the lobster as it cooks.
- Make the Garlic Butter: Reduce heat to medium. Add the remaining butter to the skillet along with the minced garlic. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in lemon juice and chopped parsley.
- Combine: Return the scallops to the skillet and spoon the garlic butter over the lobster and scallops. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to warm the scallops through.
- Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
