This dish is the peak of “special occasion” dining, but it actually cooks in under 10 minutes. The secret is high heat and not overcrowding the pan, which ensures the scallops get that golden-brown crust while the lobster stays tender.
Since you enjoy making high-quality comfort foods like Shepherd’s Pie and Chicken and Dumplings Casserole, this is a great way to add a bit of “gourmet” to your rotation.
