Prepare the Seafood: Pat the shrimp and scallops dry with a paper towel. Season both with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Sear the Scallops: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallops and sear them for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove them from the pan and set aside.
Cook the Shrimp: In the same skillet, melt the butter and sauté the garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the shrimp and cook for 2 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque.
Combine & Finish: Return the scallops to the skillet. Drizzle with fresh lemon juice and toss everything together in the garlic butter sauce.
Garnish & Serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
Serving and Storage Tips: Serve immediately with your favorite side dish like pasta, rice, or crusty bread. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently to avoid overcooking the seafood.
Variations: You can add a splash of white wine or chicken broth to the skillet after cooking the shrimp for a richer sauce. Serve with sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
