Garlic Butter Lobster and Scallops Recipe (Page 2 ) | July 23, 2025

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Seafood

Remove the lobster meat from the shells and cut it into chunks. Pat both the lobster and scallops dry with a paper towel. Dry seafood sears better!

Step 2: Sear the Scallops

Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the scallops and sear for about 2 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

Step 3: Cook the Lobster

In the same pan, add the lobster meat. Sauté for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lobster turns opaque and is just cooked.

Step 4: Make the Garlic Butter Sauce

Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Return the scallops to the pan.

Step 5: Finish the Dish

Drizzle with fresh lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss gently to coat the seafood in the garlic butter sauce. Cook for another 1–2 minutes to warm everything through.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately over pasta, rice, or with warm bread to soak up that delicious sauce.

Tips for Success

Don’t Overcook the Seafood: Both scallops and lobster cook quickly. Keep a close eye to avoid rubbery texture.
Use Fresh Garlic: It makes all the difference in the flavor of the sauce.
Serving Suggestion: This dish pairs beautifully with linguine, lemon risotto, or even a fresh green salad.
