For the Seafood

Equipment

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, season your shrimp and scallops with salt, pepper, and paprika. Gently toss to coat and let them marinate for about 10 minutes at room temperature.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, adding olive oil and 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, carefully place the scallops in the skillet and sear them for about 2-3 minutes per side.
  3. Using the same skillet, add the remaining butter and minced garlic, sautéing for about 1 minute. Then, add the marinated shrimp to the pan, cooking for about 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque.
  4. Return the seared scallops to the skillet with the shrimp, then drizzle fresh lemon juice over the seafood. Toss everything together gently and let them warm through for an additional minute.
  5. Remove the skillet from heat and plate your shrimp and scallops dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
