Begin by placing a large skillet over medium heat and adding 6 tablespoons of butter. Allow the butter to melt completely, swirling it occasionally for even heat distribution.

Once the butter has melted, add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté the garlic for about 1 minute or until it turns fragrant and light golden.

While the garlic is cooking, season the 1 pound of scallops and 1 pound of shrimp with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Give them a light toss to ensure they are evenly coated with seasoning.

Now it's time to add the scallops to the skillet. Gently place them in the hot garlic butter and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side.

Once the scallops are golden, add the seasoned shrimp directly into the skillet. Cook the shrimp for about 2-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until they turn pink and opaque.

Remove the skillet from heat once both the scallops and shrimp are cooked to perfection. Plate the Scallops and Shrimp in Garlic Butter Sauce and enjoy.
