Peel and slice the green plantains into thick rounds. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and fry the plantains until golden brown and tender, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.

In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add the shrimp and scallops, cooking until the shrimp turns pink and the scallops are opaque, about 4-5 minutes.

Stir in lemon juice and chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
