👩🍳 How to Make Garlic Butter Lobster & Scallops
1️⃣ Prepare the Seafood
Pat the scallops dry with paper towels (this helps them sear beautifully). Season both the lobster and scallops generously with salt and pepper.
2️⃣ Make the Garlic Butter
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant—don’t let it brown.
3️⃣ Cook the Lobster
Place the lobster tails cut-side down into the skillet. Cook for 3–4 minutes, then flip and cook another 3–4 minutes until the meat is opaque and tender. Remove and set aside.
4️⃣ Sear the Scallops
In the same skillet, add scallops in a single layer. Sear for about 2 minutes per side until golden brown with a buttery crust. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
5️⃣ Finish with Lemon & Herbs
Return lobster to the pan, drizzle with fresh lemon juice, and spoon the garlic butter over everything. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and gently toss to coat.
🍽️ Serving Suggestions
Serve hot with:
- Creamy mashed potatoes

- Crusty bread to soak up that garlic butter 😍
💡 Pro Tips for Perfect Seafood
- Dry scallops = golden crust
