Split lobster tails in half lengthwise.
Pat scallops dry and season both lobster and scallops with salt and pepper.
Sear the scallops
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a hot pan.
Sear scallops 1.5–2 mins per side until golden crust forms. Remove and set aside.
Cook lobster
In the same pan, add 2 tbsp butter and a splash of olive oil.
Place lobster halves flesh-side down and cook 2–3 mins until they start to turn opaque.
Flip, add garlic, and baste with butter for another 2–3 mins.
