Steak and Garlic Butter Shrimp

Are you ready for a delicious meal that’s sure to impress? This Steak and Garlic Butter Shrimp recipe combines rich flavors and textures that create a savory dish perfect for any occasion. Let’s dive in!

Ingredients:

• 1 bone-in ribeye steak (about 1 inch thick)
• 12 large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter (divided)
• 4 garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• Lemon wedges (for garnish)

Directions:

1. Season the Steak: Start by seasoning the steak with salt and black pepper on both sides. Don’t be shy; this seasoning brings out the flavor!

2. Sear the Steak: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the steak in the skillet and sear it for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer it cooked more. Once done, remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes.

3. Cook the Shrimp: In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss in the shrimp and sauté for 2-3 minutes, flipping them halfway through until they turn pink and opaque.

4. Add Flavor: Now it’s time to add the minced garlic, paprika, and the remaining butter to the skillet with the shrimp. Stir everything to combine and let it cook for about 1 minute until the garlic becomes fragrant.

5. Finish the Shrimp: Sprinkle the shrimp with fresh parsley and toss gently to coat in that delicious garlic butter sauce.

6. Serve: Place the steak on a plate alongside the garlic butter shrimp. Don’t forget to garnish with lemon wedges for a burst of freshness!
