Pat lobster tails and scallops dry with paper towels.
Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and red pepper flakes.
Use kitchen shears to cut open the lobster shell and expose the meat slightly for even cooking.
Drying scallops well ensures a perfect golden sear!
Sear the Scallops
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add scallops in a single layer and sear for 2 minutes per side until golden brown.
Remove from skillet and set aside.
Avoid overcrowding the pan—scallops need space to sear properly!
Cook the Lobster
In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon olive oil.
Place lobster tails meat-side down and sear for 2 minutes.
Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until shells turn bright red.
Baste with butter for extra juiciness!
Make the Garlic Butter Sauce
Reduce heat to medium and melt butter in the skillet.
Stir in garlic, lemon juice, parsley, and Old Bay seasoning.
Cook for 1 minute until fragrant, then return scallops and lobster to the pan.
Spoon the garlic butter over the seafood to coat evenly.
Let the flavors soak in for the ultimate rich taste!
Serve & Enjoy!
Garnish with extra parsley, red pepper flakes, and lemon wedges.
Serve with garlic bread, mashed potatoes, or steamed veggies.
A perfect special occasion or date-night dish!
Variations & Customization
Spicy Kick – Add extra chili flakes or Cajun seasoning.
Creamy Version – Stir in a splash of heavy cream for a rich sauce.
Garlic Parmesan Lobster – Sprinkle grated Parmesan over the lobster tails.
Grilled Seafood Option – Grill lobster and scallops instead of pan-searing.
Storage & Reheating Tips
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat with extra butter.
Avoid microwaving—it can make scallops rubbery.
Best enjoyed fresh, but still delicious the next day!
