FAQs
Can I Use Different Seafood?
Absolutely! Feel free to substitute shrimp or other types of fish if lobster and scallops aren’t available. Adjust the cooking time accordingly based on the seafood you choose.
Can I Make This Dish Ahead of Time?
While the seafood is best served fresh, you can prepare the garlic butter sauce in advance. Reheat it gently before adding the seafood just before serving.
What Should I Serve with This Dish?
Garlic butter lobster and scallops pair wonderfully with a variety of sides. Consider serving with a simple green salad, garlic bread, or a light pasta dish to soak up the delicious sauce.
How Can I Tell When the Lobster and Scallops Are Done?
Lobster is cooked when its flesh turns opaque and firm, while scallops should be golden on the outside and opaque in the center. Using a seafood thermometer can help; lobster should reach 140°F (60°C), and scallops should reach 125°F (52°C).
