Would You Eat This Garlic Butter Lobster and Scallops?

Ingredients

• 2 lobster tails
• 1 lb scallops, cleaned and patted dry
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Lobster: Using kitchen shears, cut down the top of the lobster tails and gently pull apart. Remove the lobster meat from the shell, keeping it attached at the base. Set aside.
2. Sear the Scallops: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little butter and sear the scallops for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. Cook the Lobster: In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter. Add the lobster tails and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until the lobster meat is opaque and tender.
4. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: In the skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the lemon juice, parsley, and red pepper flakes (if using). Season with salt and pepper.
5. Combine and Serve: Return the scallops to the skillet, and drizzle the garlic butter sauce over both the lobster and scallops. Let everything simmer for another minute to combine the flavors.
6. Garnish and Enjoy: Serve with extra parsley and a wedge of lemon for a fresh burst of flavor.
