🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️
- For the Scallops:
  - 1/2 lb sea scallops, patted dry
  - 1 tbsp olive oil
  - 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  - 2 cloves garlic, minced
  - Salt and pepper to taste
  - Fresh parsley for garnish
- For the Lobster:
  - 2 lobster tails
  - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  - 3 cloves garlic, minced
  - 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  - 1 tsp paprika
  - Salt and pepper to taste
  - Fresh parsley for garnish
  - Lemon wedges for serving

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳
1. Prepare the Lobster Tails: Using kitchen shears, carefully cut through the top shell of the lobster tails lengthwise. Lift the meat out, leaving it attached at the base, and rest it on top of the shell.
2. Make Garlic Butter for Lobster: Mix melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Generously brush this mixture over the lobster tails.
3. Broil the Lobster: Preheat your oven's broiler. Place the lobster tails on a baking sheet and broil for 8-10 minutes, until the meat is opaque and cooked through. Baste with additional garlic butter halfway through. Garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
4. Sear the Scallops: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the scallops with salt and pepper, and sear them for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and slightly firm. Remove and set aside.
5. Make Garlic Butter for Scallops: In the same skillet, melt the butter and add minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Return the scallops to the skillet, coating them in the garlic butter.
6. Serve: Arrange the garlic butter lobster tails and scallops on a plate, garnish with fresh parsley, and drizzle with the garlic butter from the skillet. Accompany with lemon wedges for added zest.
