Irresistible Garlic Butter Lobster

GARLIC BUTTER LOBSTER & SCALLOPS 🧄🦪🦞

📋 Ingredients:

↪️For the Lobster:

2 lobster tails

¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, for garnish

Lemon wedges, for serving

↪️For the Scallops:

½ lb sea scallops (patted dry)

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, for garnish

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

✅️Lobster:

 1️⃣ Prepare the Tails – Use kitchen shears to cut down the top of each shell. Gently pull the meat up so it sits on top of the shell.

2️⃣ Make Garlic Butter – Mix melted butter, garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Generously brush the mixture over the lobster meat.

3️⃣ Broil – Place the tails on a baking sheet and broil for 8–10 minutes. Baste once halfway through. Garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

✅️Scallops: 

1️⃣ Sear – Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the scallops with salt and pepper. Sear for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

2️⃣ Garlic Butter Finish – In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic for 1 minute. Return the scallops and toss to coat in the butter.

To Serve: Plate the lobster and scallops together. Spoon over any extra garlic butter from the pan, top with parsley, and serve with lemon wedges for a bright, zesty touch.
