Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Lobster Tails:
    • 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:

    • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 tbsp olive oil
    • Salt and pepper to taste
    • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Lobster Magic:

1. **Prep the Lobster:** Snip through the top of lobster tails with kitchen shears, lift the meat, and place on the shell.
2. **Whip the Butter:** Mix melted butter, garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper. Coat the lobster generously.
3. **Broil to Perfection:** Set your oven to broil. Lay the lobster tails on a baking sheet and broil for 8-10 minutes. Baste midway with more butter. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

Scallop Sensation:

1. **Sear the Scallops:** Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season scallops with salt and pepper, then sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden.
2. **Garlic Butter Bliss:** Melt butter in the skillet, add garlic, and cook for 1 minute. Coat the scallops in this aromatic mix.

Serve in Style:

Arrange the garlic butter lobster and scallops on a beautiful platter, drizzle with skillet butter, and garnish with a pop of parsley. Add lemon wedges for an extra zing!
