Sauce
- 3 tablespoons Creamy Unsalted Butter Provides richness and depth to the sauce.
- 4 cloves Garlic Aromatic and flavorful, the foundation of the garlic butter.

- 0.25 cup Fresh Parsley Vibrant green herbs for freshness and color.

Instructions
Preparation
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until smooth and aromatic.
- Stir in the minced garlic and let it gently sauté for about 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
Cooking Lobster
- Place the lobster tails in the pan shell-side down and baste the exposed meat with garlic butter.
- Cook for 5–6 minutes until the meat turns opaque, forming a beautiful, tender texture. Remove and set aside.
Cooking Scallops
- Increase the heat to medium-high and add the scallops, cooking undisturbed for 2–3 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms.
Finishing Touches
- Squeeze lemon juice over the lobster and scallops, and sprinkle with parsley, salt, and pepper.
- Arrange on a serving dish garnished with lemon wedges and serve immediately.
Notes
For best flavor, always use fresh seafood; frozen can work if well-thawed. To add heat, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes.
