    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.

    Marinate the Seafood

    Add the scallops and calamari to the marinade. Toss gently to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Cooking

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it starts to foam.
