Ingredients

• 2 lobster tails, split in half
• 8 sea scallops, patted dry
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Juice of ½ lemon
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Prep Lobster & Scallops:
   Split lobster tails in half lengthwise. Pat the scallops dry with a paper towel and season both lobster and scallops with salt and pepper.
2. Sear Scallops:
   Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallops and sear for 2 minutes per side, until golden and just cooked through. Remove and set aside.
3. Cook Lobster:
   In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of butter. Place lobster halves flesh-side down. Sear for 2-3 minutes until lightly golden. Flip them over and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes, basting with melted butter.
4. Garlic Butter Sauce:
   Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the minced garlic. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in lemon juice, zest, and red pepper flakes (if using).
5. Combine & Finish:
   Return scallops to the skillet, spoon garlic butter over lobster and scallops. Simmer for another minute to warm everything through.
6. Serve:
   Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, pasta, or crusty bread.
