Garlic Butter Lobster Tail & Scallops Feast Delight
Ingredients
- 2 tail lobster tails
- 8 large sea scallops
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- to taste salt and pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 lemon Juice of
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or oven to 375°F (190°C). If using a grill, set it to medium heat.
- Carefully split the lobster tails down the middle using a sharp knife. Gently pull the meat out slightly to create a shell for the butter to pool in.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
- Stir in the chopped parsley, lemon zest, salt, pepper, and paprika, mixing well. Remove from heat.
- Place the lobster tails and scallops on a baking sheet or grill tray. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Generously spoon the garlic butter mixture over the lobster meat and scallops, reserving some for later.
- Place the baking sheet on the grill or in the oven. Cook the lobster tails for about 12-15 minutes and the scallops for about 8-10 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and scallops are golden brown and firm.
- During the last 2 minutes of cooking, spoon the reserved garlic butter mixture over the seafood again for added flavor.
- Once cooked, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the seafood for a bright finish.
- Serve hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
