WOULD YOU EAT THIS GARLIC BUTTER LOBSTER AND SCALLOPS 🦞🧄🦪

🔥 Instructions

1. Prepare the Lobster

  • Split lobster tails in half lengthwise.
  • Pat dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Brush lightly with 1 tbsp melted butter.

2. Sear the Scallops

  • Pat scallops dry with paper towels (this is key for a golden sear).
  • Heat 1–2 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Sear scallops 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  • Remove scallops and set aside.

3. Cook the Lobster

  • In the same skillet, add a little more butter.
  • Place lobster cut-side down for 3–4 minutes, then flip and cook another 2–3 minutes until just cooked through.
  • Lobster should be opaque and tender, not rubbery.

4. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce

  • In a small saucepan, melt remaining butter over medium heat.
  • Add minced garlic, cook 30–60 seconds until fragrant.
  • Stir in lemon juice, lemon zest, and parsley.
  • Season with salt & pepper.

5. Combine & Serve

  • Drizzle garlic butter over lobster and scallops.
  • Serve immediately with optional sides.
  • Garnish with extra parsley or a lemon wedge for presentation.

Tips for Perfection

  • Don’t overcrowd the pan when searing scallops — they need space to caramelize.
  • Pat seafood completely dry before cooking for the best sear.
  • Use fresh lemon juice for a bright, balanced flavor.
  • Serve with crusty bread to soak up the buttery sauce.
