Description
A mouthwatering dish featuring buttery lobster and tender scallops with rich garlic flavor, perfect for impressing guests or treating yourself.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lobster tails
- 1 pound of fresh scallops
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Prepare your seafood: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). While that warms up, carefully cut the lobster tails down the middle with kitchen scissors or a sharp knife.
- Season the scallops: Pat the scallops dry with a paper towel and season them with salt and pepper.
- Sizzle the butter: In a large oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Toss in the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the scallops: Increase the heat to high and add the scallops to the skillet, searing them for about 2-3 minutes on each side.
- Introduce the lobster: Once the scallops are golden, nestle the lobster tails into the butter mixture.
- Roast it all together: Transfer the skillet to your preheated oven and roast for about 10-12 minutes.
- Finishing touches: Remove from the oven and sprinkle the fresh parsley over the top.
- Serve and enjoy: Plate this lavish meal with lemon wedges on the side.
Notes
For a perfect sear, do not overcrowd the pan. Fresh ingredients enhance the flavor. Save leftover garlic butter for pasta or veggies.
