Savor Butter-Basted Lobster Tail with Seared Scallops Tonight!
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:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Bake the lobster tails for about 10-12 minutes until the meat turns opaque and takes on a lovely golden hue.
4. 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.
5. In the final minute of cooking the scallops, add butter and minced garlic to the skillet and let the flavors meld together.
6. 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!
