Instructions

1. Prepare the Lobster Tails:

Cut the top shell of the lobster tails lengthwise and pull the meat up slightly. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of garlic.

2. Cook the Lobster:

Heat a skillet with 1 tablespoon butter and olive oil over medium heat.

Add lobster tails and baste them continuously with the melted butter until the meat turns opaque and slightly golden (8-10 minutes).

3. Sear the Scallops:

In the same skillet, add the remaining butter. Season scallops with salt and pepper.

Place scallops in the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.

4. Add Garlic and Herbs:

Add minced garlic and fresh thyme to the pan for the last minute. Baste scallops and lobster with the garlic butter.

5. Garnish and Serve:

Plate the lobster tails and scallops. Drizzle with extra butter sauce, garnish with parsley, and serve with lemon wedges.
