Lobster:

1. Prepare Lobster Tails: Use kitchen shears to cut along the top of each shell and pull the lobster meat up to rest on top.

2. Garlic Butter: In a bowl, mix melted butter, garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper. Brush over the lobster meat.

3. Broil Lobster: Place on a baking sheet and broil for 8-10 minutes, basting with garlic butter halfway through. Garnish with parsley and lemon wedges.

Scallops:

1. Sear the Scallops: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high. Season scallops with salt and pepper, then sear for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

2. Garlic Butter: In the same skillet, melt butter and add garlic, cooking for 1 minute. Return scallops to the pan, coating them in the garlic butter.
