Delicious Garlic Butter Lobster and Scallops Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Lobster:

- 2 lobster tails
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
- Lemon wedges for serving

For the Scallops:

- 1/2 lb sea scallops, patted dry
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Lobster Tails: Use kitchen shears to carefully cut through the top of each lobster tail shell lengthwise. Gently pull the lobster meat out, keeping it attached at the base, and rest it on top of the shell.
2. Make Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper. Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the lobster tails.
3. Broil the Lobster: Preheat the oven's broiler. Place the lobster tails on a baking sheet and broil for 8-10 minutes until the lobster meat is opaque and cooked through. Baste with more garlic butter halfway through. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

For the Scallops:

4. Sear the Scallops: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the scallops with salt and pepper. Sear them for 2-3 minutes per side until they are golden brown and slightly firm to the touch. Remove and set aside.
5. Make Garlic Butter for Scallops: In the same skillet, melt the butter and add minced garlic. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant, then return the scallops to the pan and coat them in the garlic butter.
Serve:
6. Plate the Dish: Serve the garlic butter lobster tails and scallops together, garnished with fresh parsley and a drizzle of the garlic butter from the skillet. Pair with lemon wedges for extra zest. Enjoy this delectable seafood dish!

Strawberry ghosts

There's nothing better than a chocolate-covered strawberry! These strawberry ghosts are cute, easy to make and perfect for Halloween!

Ingredients:
1 package vanilla chocolate coating (appx 480 ml)
24 fresh strawberries
Mini chocolate chips

Instructions:
Melt the chocolate in a tray (or other container).
Place a large piece of wax paper or parchment on a flat surface.
Dip the strawberries in the melted coating, remove them and let the excess coating drip onto the wax paper to form the ghost's “tail”; slide the strawberry back and place it on the wax paper to dry.
Before the coating sets, place two mini chocolate chips as eyes. For the mouth, cut off the tip of a mini chocolate chip and place it on the strawberry, underside up.

Witch's finger cookies (no food coloring!)

If you're planning a Halloween party, these witch's fingers are a perfectly enchanting appetizer. People love them, so make sure you have enough for everyone.

Ingredients:
- Butter - By-products don't work. Coconut oil and other types of oil are 100% fat and will cause cookies to spread and not hold their shape.
- Powdered sugar
- Granulated sugar - optional! If you're making them for adults who like their treats not very sweet, you don't need any. If you're making them for children who are used to regularly sweetened treats, you'll definitely want to use the extra sugar.
- Eggs
- Vanilla and almond extracts
- Flour
- Almonds - to create nails.
- Strawberry jam - replaces red decorating gel. It's all natural, and much better than decorating gel! Raspberry jam would also be perfect for the blood effect, but I think strawberry jam is better.
- Salt

Note: Be sure to use a jam that doesn't contain large chunks of strawberries.

How to prepare the witches' finger cookies:

- Prepare the dough. This is a basic, easy-to-prepare cookie dough. - Simply whisk together the wet ingredients, then stir in the flour.
- Cover with cling film and chill in the fridge, so that the witch's fingers are easier to form and hold better in the oven.
- Roll out the fingers to the size of your little finger. The dough holds up fairly well in the oven, but spreads out a little. So it's best to make them a little thinner than you'd like.
- Roll the fingers the size of your little finger. The dough holds up fairly well in the oven, but spreads out a little. So it's best to make them a little thinner than you'd like.
- Press around the middle to form the joints. Use a sharp knife for the knuckle wrinkles and vary the length (which I forgot to do myself). This will give you a more realistic finger.
- Place on a baking sheet and bake. Let them cool completely on the baking sheet.
- Add the jam, arrange and serve! Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight tin.
