Golden Garlic Butter Seafood Bake with Scallops and Shrimp 🍤🦪
This seafood bake combines shrimp and scallops with lemony garlic butter, herbs, and a bubbling Parmesan-mozzarella topping.
A short bake keeps the seafood tender while the cheese turns beautifully golden.
🛒Ingredients :
• 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 lb large sea scallops
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, optional
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
• Lemon wedges, for serving
👩🍳How to Make It:
1. Heat the Oven
Set the oven to 400°F and lightly grease an 8x8-inch or 9x9-inch baking dish.
2. Season the Seafood
Pat the shrimp and scallops thoroughly dry. Season them with paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
3. Mix the Garlic Butter
Combine the melted butter, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl until evenly blended.
4. Build and Bake
Arrange the shrimp and scallops in a single layer in the prepared dish and spoon the garlic butter over them. Cover with Parmesan and mozzarella, then bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the shrimp are pink and the scallops are opaque.
5. Brown and Finish
Broil for 1 to 2 minutes, watching closely, until the cheese is golden and bubbling. Sprinkle with parsley and spoon the pan juices over the seafood before serving with lemon wedges.
