Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Using kitchen scissors, cut the top shell of the lobster tails and gently pull the meat out to rest on top.
2. Place lobster tails on a baking tray. Brush with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
3. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until meat is opaque and cooked through.
4. Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear scallops for 2 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
5. In the same skillet, add remaining butter and garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds, then stir in lemon juice.
6. Return scallops to the pan and coat with sauce.
7. Plate lobster tails with scallops, drizzle garlic butter over the top, and garnish with parsley and lemon slices.
