Ingredients:

2 lobster tails, split in half
1 lb large sea scallops, patted dry
6 tbsp unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
Juice of 1 lemon
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt & black pepper, to taste
1 tsp paprika (optional, for color)
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Lemon wedges, for serving

 

Directions:

1. Rinse the lobster tails and scallops. Pat them dry with paper towels. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika on the lobster.
2. In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in lemon juice and set aside.
