Ingredients

  • 4 filet mignon steaks
  • 12 large shrimp, peeled & deveined

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup white wine (or broth)
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

  1. Blacken Steaks: Start by coating the steaks with Cajun seasoning. Heat olive oil in a pan on medium-high heat. Sear the steaks for 4-5 minutes on each side until they have a nice blackened crust. Once done, take them out and let them rest.

  2. Scampi Shrimp: In the same pan, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and shrimp. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the shrimp are pink. Pour in the white wine (or broth) and lemon juice to deglaze the pan, stirring gently. Let it simmer for a short time to blend the flavors.

  3. Serve: On a plate, place your beautifully cooked steaks. Add the shrimp and pour the scampi sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a burst of color.
