Ingredients
  

2 lobster tails

8 large sea scallops

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped

1 teaspoon lemon zest

Salt and pepper to taste

1 teaspoon paprika

Juice of 1 lemon

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.
