👩🍳How to Make It:
- Season the Lobster
Brush the lobster tails with melted butter, garlic, paprika, Old Bay, salt, and black pepper. Make sure the seasoning reaches the exposed meat for a full, savory aroma. - Roast Until Just Tender
Bake the lobster tails at 425°F for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove them when the meat is opaque, tender, and still juicy. - Sear the Scallops
Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the scallops, then sear for 2 to 3 minutes per side until a golden crust forms. - Build the Garlic Butter
Melt the remaining butter in the pan and add the garlic until fragrant. Pour in seafood stock or chicken broth, lemon juice, and lemon zest, then simmer for 2 to 3 minutes before stirring in parsley. - Plate and Spoon the Sauce
Arrange the lobster tails with the seared scallops around them. Spoon the warm garlic butter sauce over the seafood and finish with parsley and lemon wedges.
