🧾 Ingredients:
2 lobster tails, split in half
8–10 sea scallops, patted dry
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon fresh thyme (optional)
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil (for searing)
Lemon wedges, for serving
🔥 Instructions:
- Prep the Seafood: Start by patting your scallops dry with a paper towel for the perfect golden sear. Split the lobster tails down the middle and season both with salt and pepper.
- Sear the Scallops: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add scallops and sear for about 1.5–2 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- Cook the Lobster Tails: In the same pan, add a touch of butter. Place lobster tails flesh-side down and cook for about 3–4 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2–3 minutes until the meat is opaque.
- Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: Lower heat, add remaining butter and garlic to the pan. Stir until fragrant. Add lemon juice, zest, and herbs. Allow flavors to meld for 1–2 minutes.
- Combine: Return scallops to the pan and baste everything with the garlic butter sauce. Cook for another minute to warm through.
- Serve With Love: Arrange lobster and scallops on a plate, drizzle generously with the sauce, and serve with fresh lemon wedges and extra herbs. Enjoy immediately!
