- 12 piece scallops
- 12 piece shrimp
- 3 clove garlic
- 4 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- salt, to taste

- 10Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
- 11Transfer the scallops and shrimp to serving plates, spooning the buttery garlic sauce over the top.
- 12Serve immediately while hot, optionally with crusty bread or over a bed of rice.
