In a medium-sized skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to let it brown.
Gently add the scallops and shrimp to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the scallops are golden brown and the shrimp are pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook the seafood, as it can become tough.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Set aside to cool slightly.
Prepare the Casserole Dishes:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Lightly grease four individual casserole dishes or ramekins with butter or a bit of olive oil.
Assemble the Casseroles:
Divide the cooked seafood evenly among the four casserole dishes, layering the scallops and shrimp attractively.
Optionally, you can add a splash of cream or white wine over the seafood for added richness and flavor.
