Ingredients:

1 lobster tail, split in half 1/2 lb scallops 1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined 1/2 lb crab legs 2 tbsp olive oil 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped Salt and pepper to taste Lemon wedges for serving Melted butter for dipping

 

Preparation:

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Preparing the oven beforehand ensures even cooking and brings out the flavors of the seafood. Step 2: On a large baking sheet, arrange the seafood assortment: place the split lobster tail, scallops, shrimp, and crab legs evenly on the sheet to ensure proper heat distribution. Step 3: Drizzle the seafood with olive oil, making sure to coat each piece well. Olive oil not only adds richness but also helps the seafood cook evenly without sticking to the baking sheet. Step 4: Sprinkle the seafood with the minced garlic and freshly squeezed lemon juice. The garlic infuses the seafood with a bold, aromatic flavor, while the lemon juice provides a bright, tangy contrast that elevates the dish. Step 5: Season with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences. Seasoning seafood properly ensures that the natural flavors shine through without overpowering the delicate taste of the lobster, scallops, shrimp, and crab. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes. The seafood should be cooked through, with the lobster tail slightly browned. Be careful not to overcook, as seafood can become tough if left in the oven for too long. Step 7: Once done, remove the seafood from the oven and immediately garnish with freshly chopped parsley. The parsley adds a touch of freshness and color, making the dish visually appealing. Step 8: Serve the seafood platter with lemon wedges on the side
