    When the butter begins to bubble add the garlic and shrimp and saute for about a minute.
    Next add the scallops and the lobster meat and saute until the scallops are white and firm.
    Sprinkle the flour over the seafood while tossing or stirring.
    Add the clam juice, white wine, parsley, and lemon juice and simmer for about a minute or until the liquid begins to thicken.

    NOTE: What is a butter swirl? A butter swirl is a portion of tempered butter that is added to a sauce just before serving to enhance the flavor, texture, and appearance. A butter swirl will aid in binding a sauce and it will also introduce a sheen, which is a visually appealing. By tempered we mean butter that is at room temperature.
