Pat the scallops and shrimp dry with paper towels to ensure a perfect sear.
Heat a skillet over high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the scallops and shrimp to the pan.
Sear the scallops for 15-20 seconds on each side and the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, just until they develop a golden-brown crust. Remove the seafood from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add 2 ounces of butter and the fresh chopped garlic. Sauté the garlic until it turns light brown.
Pour in 4 ounces of white wine, 2 ounces of chicken or seafood stock, and 4 ounces of fresh lemon juice.
Stir and let the sauce reduce to your desired thickness by swirling a spoon in the bottom of the pan.
Return the seared scallops and shrimp to the pan, allowing them to soak up the flavorful sauce. Add a handful of chopped parsley.
Heat the mixture for an additional 30 seconds to ensure everything is well combined and heated through.
