1
Prepare the Seafood
Rinse the shrimp and scallops under cold running water and pat them dry with paper towels. This helps to ensure that they sear properly.
2
Mise en Place
Mince the garlic and chop the parsley. Measure out all ingredients for easy access during cooking.

3
Sauté the Garlic
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
4
Cook the Shrimp
Add the shrimp to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side until they turn pink, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
5
Cook the Scallops
Add the scallops to the skillet with the shrimp. Sauté for approximately 2-3 minutes per side until they are golden brown and opaque in the center.
6
Finish the Dish
Drizzle the lemon juice over the shrimp and scallops. Stir gently to combine. Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
