Ingredients
- 2 lobster tails, split in half lengthwise
- 8 sea scallops, cleaned and patted dry
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- Prep Seafood: Rinse lobster tails and scallops, then pat dry. Season with salt and pepper.
- Make Garlic Butter: In a pan over medium heat, melt butter. Add garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Add lemon juice and stir.
- Cook Lobster: Add lobster tails flesh-side down to the pan. Cook for about 3–4 minutes per side until opaque and slightly golden. Remove and set aside.
- Sear Scallops: In the same pan, add olive oil if needed. Place scallops in the pan without overcrowding. Sear for 2 minutes per side until a golden crust forms.
- Serve: Return lobster to the pan, spoon garlic butter over both. Garnish with parsley and lemon wedges.
Optional: Serve over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread to soak up that buttery goodness!
