Prep the seafood

Split lobster tails in half lengthwise.

Pat scallops dry and season both lobster and scallops with salt and pepper.

Sear the scallops

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a hot pan.

Sear scallops 1.5–2 mins per side until golden crust forms. Remove and set aside.

Cook lobster

Place lobster halves flesh-side down and cook 2–3 mins until they start to turn opaque.

Flip, add garlic, and baste with butter for another 2–3 mins.
