Hello there, lovely friends! If you’re looking to impress with an extraordinary seafood dish, I’ve got just the recipe for you. Today I whipped up Butter-Basted Lobster Tail with Seared Scallops, and let me tell you, it was a hit! The flavors blend beautifully, and it’s easier than you might think. Just imagine the smiles around your dinner table when you serve this delicate treat!
Ingredients:
- 2 lobster tails (6-8 oz each)
- 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
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 6 large sea scallops
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Directions:
- Preheat the 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.
- 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.
- Bake the lobster tails for about 10-12 minutes until the meat turns opaque and takes on a lovely golden hue.
- 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.
- In the final minute of cooking the scallops, add butter and minced garlic to the skillet and let the flavors meld together.
- 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!
