- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp paprika (optional, for color)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste

- 6 large sea scallops
- 2 tbsp olive oil

2. In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper. Brush this delicious garlic butter generously over the lobster meat.
3. Bake the lobster tails for about 10-12 minutes until the meat turns opaque and takes on a lovely golden hue.
4. While the lobster is baking, pat the scallops dry and season them with a sprinkle of salt and black pepper. Heat the olive oil in a skillet and add the scallops, searing them for 2-3 minutes on each side until they're beautifully golden.
5. In the final minute of cooking the scallops, add butter and minced garlic to the skillet and let the flavors meld together.
6. When everything is ready, plate the lobster tails alongside the seared scallops, drizzle with melted butter, and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley. Don’t forget the lemon wedges for that citrusy zing!
