1. Always start with fresh live hard shell lobsters from your local market or fish store. Most of the time, you will find hard shell lobsters at your local store but sometimes lobsters have a softer shell just after molting and their shells are not yet fully hard. Soft shell lobsters contain more water and in my opinion, have a sweeter taste and a more tender texture but they do contain a lot of water and less meat so a good, live hard shell lobster is best for baking.
2. Refrigerate your lobsters in the wax bag you get from the market which will keep them alive and fresh until you are ready to process them. The cold temperature will also keep them less active so they are easier to prepare. Putting them into the freezer for a few minutes will also do the trick.
3. Put each lobster on its back on a cutting board, and use a sharp chef’s knife to split it in half lengthwise without actually cutting the lobster all the way in half. You can easily do this by holding the lobster down at the claws just above the head. Insert the tip of the knife where the shell is soft between the legs, and carefully cut down lengthwise to the tail of the lobster. Remember to stop cutting when you reach the hard shell so you don’t penetrate it.
4. After the lobsters are split, use a pair of kitchen shears to trim off the antennae and the heads. Use both hands to split and flatten the lobsters lengthwise until they lie flat.

1. Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Start by 'butterflying' the lobster tails. With the hard side of the shell on the table, and starting on the wide end of the tail, cut the belly side of the shell, while also cutting half way through the meat, until just before the end of the tail.
3. Using your hands, carefully spread the shell open, and gently pull the tail out, making sure to keep the meat attached to the shell towards the end of the tail. Rest the tail meat on top of the belly of the shell, with the end of the meat still attached to the shell. Carefully, using your fingers and a paper towel, remove the dark vein, if there is one. See notes for further explanation.
4. Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the minced onion, and cook until transparent. Add the chopped scallops and cook until opaque, about 1 minute. Toss in the minced garlic and cook for another 60 seconds, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.
