_Sips coffee with a smirk_
Oh honey, let me tell you about this mouthwatering seafood dish that’ll have your taste buds doing the cha-cha! As someone who’s notorious for burning toast (we’ve all been there, right?), I promise this recipe is actually foolproof and absolutely divine.
Today, I’m sharing my go-to Pan-Seared Scallops with Lemon Butter Sauce and Garlic Shrimp – a combination that’s basically a love letter to your palate. Trust me, this dish has helped me impress more dinner guests than I can count! 😉
What You’ll Need:
• 12 large sea scallops (pat them dry, darling – it’s crucial!)
• 8 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’s get cooking!
First things first – pat those scallops dry like your life depends on it. Season them with salt and pepper. Heat your pan until it’s smoking hot (like your ex’s temper, am I right? 😏).
Add olive oil and sear those scallops for about 2-3 minutes each side until they’re golden brown. Remove them and set aside – don’t you dare overcook them!

Now, in the same pan, toss in your shrimp and minced garlic. Cook until the shrimp turn pink (about 2-3 minutes per side). Add butter and let it melt into a gorgeous sauce. Squeeze in half a lemon and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Place those beautiful scallops back in the pan to warm them up, and voilà! Serve immediately with your favorite side – I personally love a good risotto or angel hair pasta.
Pro tip: Want to really elevate this dish? Serve it with a chilled glass of Pinot Grigio. You can thank me later! 💁♀️
