WOULD YOU EAT THIS GARLIC BUTTER LOBSTER AND SCALLOPS” recipe

Ingredients

• 2 lobster tails, split in half lengthwise
• 8 large sea scallops, patted dry
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Juice of ½ lemon
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

1. Prepare the pan: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with the olive oil. Once hot, add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
2. Cook the lobster tails: Place the lobster tails cut side down in the skillet. Cook for 3–4 minutes until the meat turns opaque and starts to brown slightly. Flip them, baste with the garlic butter, and cook another 3–4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
3. Sear the scallops: Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the pan. Once melted and hot, add the scallops. Sear for 1.5–2 minutes per side until golden brown with a nice crust. Do not overcrowd the pan—cook in batches if needed.
4. Add lemon and parsley: Squeeze in the lemon juice and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Toss gently to coat.
5. Serve it hot: Plate the lobster tails with the seared scallops, drizzle extra garlic butter from the pan over everything, and serve with lemon wedges.
