Instructions 
:
1. Prepare the Lobster Tails 
Start by preparing the lobster tails. Use kitchen scissors to cut the top of the lobster shell lengthwise down the middle. Gently pull the lobster meat out and lay it on top of the shell, so it sits beautifully above the shell. This method will create a stunning presentation for your dish.
2. Make the Garlic Butter 
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic and stir continuously until fragrant (about 2 minutes). Be cautious not to let the garlic brown, as this can alter the flavor.
3. Add Fresh Parsley & Lemon Juice 
Once the garlic is fragrant, stir in the chopped parsley and lemon juice. Season the garlic butter with salt and pepper to taste, and then remove it from heat. Set the garlic butter mixture aside for later use.
4. Sear the Scallops 
Heat a splash of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the scallops to the pan, being sure not to overcrowd them. Sear the scallops for about 2-3 minutes on one side, allowing a golden crust to form. Flip the scallops and cook for an additional 2 minutes on the other side until they are opaque and fully cooked. Once done, remove the scallops from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
5. Cook the Lobster Tails 
In the same skillet, add the lobster tails meat-side down. Cook them for 3-4 minutes to achieve a beautiful sear. Flip the tails and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, basting them with the garlic butter for extra richness and flavor.
6. Plate the Dish 
Once the lobster tails are cooked through and tender, remove them from the skillet. Plate the lobster tails and scallops together artistically, and drizzle the remaining garlic butter over the seafood for a glossy, flavorful finish.
7. Serve and Enjoy
Garnish with lemon wedges for an added burst of freshness. The combination of rich garlic butter, tender lobster, and seared scallops creates a perfect harmony of flavors that will elevate any meal. Enjoy!
