Ingredients:
For the Lobster:
2 lobster tails
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon 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 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
For the Lobster:
Prepare the Lobster Tails: Using kitchen shears, carefully cut through the top of each lobster tail shell lengthwise. Gently pull the lobster meat out while keeping it attached at the base, resting it on top of the shell.
Make Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper. Generously brush this garlic butter mixture over the lobster tails.
Broil the Lobster: Preheat your ovens 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 additional garlic butter halfway through. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
For the Scallops:
Sear the Scallops: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the scallops with salt and pepper. Sear the scallops for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly firm to the touch. Remove the scallops from the skillet and set aside.
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 pan and coat them in the garlic butter.
Serve:
Plate the Dish: Arrange the garlic butter lobster tails and scallops on a serving platter, garnished with fresh parsley. Drizzle with the garlic butter from the skillet and serve alongside lemon wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
