Equipment

  • large skillet

Ingredients
  

For the Sauce

  • 6 tablespoons butter The heart of your dish, rich and creamy for a delectable taste.
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic This adds that irresistible aromatic flavor that enhances the seafood perfectly.

For the Seafood

  • 4 scallops Fresh scallops; choose dry-packed for the best texture.

Instructions
 

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • In a large skillet, heat 6 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Allow the butter to melt completely, watching it bubble gently, which should take about 1-2 minutes.
  • Once the butter is melted, add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté the garlic for 1-2 minutes, stirring continuously until it becomes fragrant and slightly golden.
  • Next, season 4 scallops with 1 teaspoon of salt and gently place them in the skillet. Cook the scallops for about 2-3 minutes on each side.
  • After the scallops are perfectly cooked, add 1 pound of peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet. Stir gently to coat the shrimp in the garlic butter sauce, and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
  • When both the scallops and shrimp are cooked to perfection, remove the skillet from heat. Serve immediately to enjoy.

Notes

This dish is best enjoyed fresh off the stove. If you must reheat leftovers, do so gently to preserve the sauce's richness.
