Ingredients
  

2 lobster tails

8 oz scallops (sea or bay)

6 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Salt and pepper to taste

1 teaspoon paprika

Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Lobster Tails: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Using kitchen scissors, cut the top shell of the lobster tails lengthwise down the middle. Gently pull the meat out slightly and rest it on the shell to create a 'pop' effect.

    Season the Seafood: In a mixing bowl, rub the lobster tails with salt, pepper, and paprika. Season the scallops lightly with salt and pepper as well.

      Make the Garlic Butter: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice and fresh parsley.

        Bake the Lobster Tails: Place the prepared lobster tails on a baking sheet. Brush half of the garlic butter mixture over the meat of the lobster tails. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the lobster meat is opaque and cooked through.

          Sear the Scallops: While the lobster is baking, heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of the garlic butter mixture and let it melt. Add the scallops in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through.

            Combine and Serve: Once the lobster and scallops are cooked, plate them together. Drizzle with any remaining garlic butter and a sprinkle of fresh parsley. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zing.
