Ingredients:
For the Lobster:
2 lobster tails
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish
Lemon wedges for serving
For the Scallops:
1/2 lb sea scallops, patted dry
2 tbsp unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
Prepare the Lobster Tails:
Using kitchen shears, carefully cut through the top of each lobster tail shell lengthwise. Gently pull the meat out, leaving it attached at the base, and rest it on top of the shell.
Make the Garlic Butter:
In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper. Generously brush the mixture over the lobster tails.
Broil the Lobster:
Preheat your oven’s broiler. Place the lobster tails on a baking sheet and broil for 8-10 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and cooked through. Baste with more garlic butter halfway through cooking. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
For the Scallops:
Sear the Scallops:
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the scallops with salt and pepper. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly firm. Set aside once cooked.
Make Garlic Butter for Scallops:
In the same skillet, melt the butter and add the minced garlic. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant, then return the scallops to the skillet and coat them in the garlic butter.
To Serve:
Plate the lobster tails and scallops together, garnished with fresh parsley. Drizzle the garlic butter from the skillet over the dish and serve with lemon wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
