Oh honey, let me tell you about this absolutely divine seafood recipe that’s been driving my family crazy! Every time I make this Pan-Seared Scallops with Lemon Butter Sauce and Garlic Shrimp, my husband literally drops everything he’s doing and rushes to the kitchen. Can you blame him though? 😉
Ladies (and gents!), this is not your average seafood dish. This is what I call my “date night at home” special, but honestly? It’s so simple that you could whip it up any day of the week. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you!
Here’s what you’ll need:
– 12 large sea scallops (pat them dry, darling!)
– 12 jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
– 4 tablespoons butter (real butter, none of that fake stuff!)
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 lemon
– Fresh parsley
– Salt and pepper
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– A splash of white wine (optional, but who are we kidding? 😎)
Now, let me walk you through this heavenly creation:
1. First things first – pat those scallops dry like your life depends on it! Season with salt and pepper.
1. Get your pan smoking hot (like summer in Miami!) with olive oil. Sear those scallops for 2-3 minutes each side until they’re golden brown. Set aside.
1. In the same pan (hello, flavor town!), toss in your shrimp and garlic. Cook until the shrimp turn pink – about 2-3 minutes per side.
1. Now here’s where the magic happens! Add that butter and let it melt. Squeeze in half a lemon, add your splash of wine if you’re feeling fancy (and haven’t already finished the bottle 😉), and let it simmer for a minute.
1. Return those gorgeous scallops to the pan, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and voilà!
Y’all, I can’t even begin to tell you how amazing this tastes! The scallops are perfectly seared, the shrimp are succulent, and that sauce? _chef’s kiss_
