Ingredients
  

2 lobster tails

8 oz sea scallops

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon paprika

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Lemon wedges for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Lobster Tails: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Using kitchen shears, carefully cut the top shell of the lobster tails lengthwise to expose the meat. Gently pull the lobster meat out slightly for a better presentation.

    Season the Lobster: In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper. Brush this mixture generously over the lobster meat.

      Prepare the Scallops: Pat the scallops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, pepper, and a pinch of paprika.

        Cook the Lobster Tails: Place the prepared lobster tails on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes, until the lobster meat is opaque and slightly firm to the touch.

          Sear the Scallops: While the lobster is baking, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter is melted and bubbly, add the scallops in a single layer (do not overcrowd). Sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they have a golden crust and are cooked through. Remove from heat.

            Combine and Garnish: Once the lobster is done, remove it from the oven. Arrange the lobster tails and scallops on a serving platter. Drizzle any remaining garlic butter from the baking dish over the seafood.

              Finish with Freshness: Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the platter for a pop of color and flavor. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zing.
