Method
Preparation
- Give the lobster tails a good rinse under cold water. Use kitchen scissors to carefully cut the top of the shell lengthwise and gently pull the meat out.
- Pat the meat dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper.
Cooking
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the scallops and sear them for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Remove the scallops from the pan and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of butter and place the lobster tails, flesh side down. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, then flip and add the minced garlic, cooking until the lobster is opaque.
- Squeeze lemon juice over the lobster, then toss the scallops back into the pan to warm briefly.
Serving
- Plate the lobster tails next to the scallops, drizzle with buttery garlic sauce, and garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
Ensure scallops are dry before searing for a perfect crust. Adjust skillet heat if butter sizzles aggressively. Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days.
