Prep the Seafood:
If not already done, peel and devein the lobster tails, cutting them lengthwise to expose the meat. Pat the lobster and scallops dry with a paper towel.
Cook the Lobster and Scallops:
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the lobster tails and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until the meat is opaque and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the scallops and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:
In the same skillet, melt another tablespoon of butter if needed. Add paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and simmer for 1 minute.
Combine and Serve:
Return the lobster and scallops to the skillet and toss to coat with the garlic butter sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, until everything is evenly coated and heated through.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
Enjoy!
