Pat the shrimp and scallops dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help them sear properly.
Season the shrimp and scallops evenly with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the scallops to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown crust. Remove and set aside.
Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet, and cook the shrimp for 1-2 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside with the scallops.
Lower the heat to medium and add the remaining butter to the skillet. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
If using wine, pour it into the skillet and let it simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly. If not using wine, proceed to the next step.
Stir in the lemon juice, zest, and lump crab meat. Cook for 2-3 minutes, gently tossing to coat the crab in the buttery sauce.
Return the shrimp and scallops to the skillet. Toss everything together and heat through for another 1-2 minutes.
Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately over a bed of creamy mashed potatoes or rice. Garnish with extra lemon wedges, if desired.
