Description
A delicious combination of perfectly cooked steak and shrimp, smothered in garlic butter.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 steak fillets (ribeye or filet mignon recommended)
- 12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Optional: pasta or mashed potatoes for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Steak:
Season the steak fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the steak to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or cook to your desired level of doneness. Once cooked, remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest. - Cook the Shrimp:
In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until they turn pink, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with parsley. - Make Garlic Butter Sauce:
Reduce the heat to low, and add the remaining butter to the skillet. Stir until melted and well combined with the garlic and parsley remnants in the pan. - Combine and Serve:
Return the steak to the skillet, spooning garlic butter over each steak. Serve immediately with the shrimp on top. Optional: Serve over pasta or with a side of mashed potatoes to soak up the sauce.
Notes
- Allow the steak to come to room temperature before cooking to ensure even cooking.
- Resting the steak after cooking helps retain its juices.
- You can adjust the garlic and lemon juice quantities to suit personal taste preferences.
- For extra flavor, marinate the shrimp briefly in a mix of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper before cooking.
