Scale
Lobster Tails
- 2 Lobster tails
Sea Scallops
- 1 pound Sea scallops
Butter
- 1/2 cup Unsalted butter
Garlic
- 4 cloves Fresh minced garlic
Parsley
- 1/4 cup Fresh chopped parsley
Lemon Juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare the Seafood: Begin by thawing the lobster tails and scallops if they are frozen. Rinse them under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel to ensure they sear properly when cooked.
- Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
- Cook the Lobster: Add the lobster tails to the melted garlic butter and cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until they are opaque and cooked through.
- Sear the Scallops: In a separate skillet, heat a little butter over medium-high heat. Add the scallops and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a golden crust and are cooked through.
- Combine and Serve: Once both the lobster and scallops are cooked, combine them in the saucepan with the garlic butter. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top and sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh seafood will yield the best flavor and texture, so opt for fresh whenever possible.
- Don’t Overcook: Keep an eye on the seafood to avoid overcooking, which can result in a rubbery texture.
- Rest the Seafood: Allow the seafood to rest for a few minutes after cooking for even juicier results.
- Adjust Seasoning: Taste the garlic butter sauce and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to suit your palate.
- Experiment with Add-ins: Don’t hesitate to add your favorite herbs or spices to the butter for a personalized touch.
