Note

For added flavor, consider sprinkling fresh parsley, lemon zest, or a pinch of salt and pepper over the seafood before adding the butter.

Ensure the lobster meat is fully cooked before adding it to the casserole, as it only needs to be warmed through.

If using frozen scallops, thaw them completely and pat them very dry to avoid excess moisture in the dish.

This dish is best served immediately while hot. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
