Tips

• Do not overcook scallops or lobster—they should be tender, not rubbery.
• Serve with steamed vegetables, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the butter sauce.
• Add a splash of white wine while making the garlic butter for extra depth.

I can also give a one-pan version with pasta for a full meal or a broiled garlic butter lobster & scallops method if you want.
