WOULD YOU EAT THIS GARLIC BUTTER LOBSTER AND SCALLOPS 🦞🧄🦪

3. Cook the Lobster

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add a tablespoon of butter.
Place the lobster tails meat-side down and cook for about 3–4 minutes. Then flip them and add another tablespoon of butter.
Continue cooking while basting the lobster meat with the melted butter using a spoon. Once the meat is opaque and tender, remove from the pan.

4. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce

In the same skillet (no need to wash it, all those seafood bits add flavor), melt the remaining butter.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Squeeze in the lemon juice and stir in the zest if using.
Toss in the chili flakes for a little kick and sprinkle in the fresh parsley.

5. Bring It All Together

Return the scallops and lobster tails to the skillet, gently coating them in the garlic butter sauce.
Let everything mingle in the pan for another minute, spooning the sauce generously over the seafood.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

Plate the lobster and scallops beautifully with a drizzle of the leftover sauce. Serve with:

Crusty bread to mop up the buttery goodness
A side of garlicky mashed potatoes or risotto
Steamed asparagus or broccolini for freshness

🥂 Final Touch

Pair this decadent dish with a glass of crisp white wine—think Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay—to complement the richness of the butter and the sweetness of the shellfish.
