Preparation

Step 1:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This temperature will allow the seafood to bake evenly, resulting in tender and juicy shrimp, scallops, and lobster.

Step 2:

Arrange the seafood in a baking dish. Ensure that the shrimp, scallops, and lobster tail are evenly spaced out, so they bake uniformly. The lobster tail should be halved to allow for quicker cooking and better absorption of flavors.

Step 3:

In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine all the ingredients, creating a flavorful butter sauce that will coat the seafood. The garlic will infuse its robust flavor into the butter, while the lemon juice adds a bright acidity that balances the richness of the butter.

Step 4:

Drizzle the butter-garlic mixture generously over the seafood in the baking dish. Make sure that each piece of seafood is coated well, as this will ensure the flavors penetrate the seafood during the baking process.

Step 5:

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the seafood. The Parmesan will melt and form a golden, slightly crispy crust on top of the seafood, adding a delicious cheesy flavor to the dish. Once done, place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes. The seafood should be fully cooked but still tender. You will know it’s ready when the shrimp turns pink, the scallops are opaque, and the lobster is firm and bright red.
