Lobster and Scallops

 

Garlic Butter Lobster and Scallops with Herbs:

Ingredients

2 lobster tails, split in half

8 large sea scallops

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Lemon wedges, for garnish

Instructions

1. Prepare the Lobster & Scallops:

Pat the scallops dry with a paper towel to ensure a nice sear.

Use kitchen shears to cut through the top of the lobster shells and pull the meat slightly out for even cooking.

2. Sear the Scallops:

Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Season scallops with salt and pepper, then sear them for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

3. Cook the Lobster:

In the same pan, add another tablespoon of butter.

Place the lobster tails meat-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes until lightly browned. Flip them over and cook for another 3-4 minutes.

4. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:

Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of butter.

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Add lemon juice, chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well.

5. Finish & Serve:

Return the scallops to the skillet and spoon the garlic butter sauce over everything.
