Savor Butter-Basted Lobster Tail with Seared Scallops Tonight!

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Cut through the top shell of each lobster tail lengthwise, lift the meat, and place it on top of the shell.
2. Prepare the Lobster Tail:
In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Brush this garlic butter generously over the lobster meat.
3. Bake the Lobster:
Place the lobster tails on a baking sheet and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the lobster meat turns opaque and golden.
4. Sear the Scallops:
While the lobster is baking, pat the scallops dry and season them with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the scallops to the skillet and sear them for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
5. Butter and Garlic for the Scallops:
In the final minute of cooking, add butter and minced garlic to the skillet, allowing the flavors to meld.
6. Plate and Serve:
Plate the lobster tails alongside the seared scallops.
Drizzle with the remaining melted butter and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
Serve with lemon wedges on the side for a zesty finish!
