Ingredients

Scale

To create the perfect Luscious Garlic Butter Steak & Shrimp Medley, you’ll need the following ingredients:

For the Steak:

  • 2 ribeye steaks (or your preferred cut of steak, about 1-inch thick)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

For the Shrimp:

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

For the Garlic Butter Sauce:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick), melted
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for a little heat)

Ingredient Highlights

  • Steak: Ribeye steaks are known for their rich marbling, which adds juiciness and flavor. You can also use other cuts like sirloin or filet mignon if preferred.
  • Shrimp: Large, tender shrimp provide a sweet contrast to the savory steak and soak up the flavors of the garlic butter sauce beautifully.
  • Garlic Butter Sauce: This sauce is the star of the dish, infusing everything it touches with rich, buttery, garlicky goodness. The addition of lemon juice helps balance the richness with a fresh, zesty note.
  • Seasonings: The use of garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and Italian seasoning helps build layers of flavor in both the steak and shrimp.

Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the Steak and Shrimp:

  1. Preheat Your Pan: Heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and allow the pan to get hot.
  2. Season the Steak: While the pan is heating, season both sides of the steaks with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  3. Cook the Steak: Once the pan is hot, place the steaks in the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare (adjust the cooking time to your preferred doneness). Let the steaks rest on a plate while you cook the shrimp.

Prepare the Shrimp:

  1. Season the Shrimp: Season the shrimp with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
  2. Cook the Shrimp: In the same pan, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once heated, add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from the pan and set aside with the steaks.

Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:

  1. Prepare the Sauce: In the same pan, reduce the heat to medium. Add the melted butter, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning (if using). Sauté the garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
  2. Add the Lemon Juice: Stir in the fresh lemon juice, and allow the sauce to simmer for another 1-2 minutes.
  3. Finish the Dish: Add the shrimp and steak back into the pan, spooning the garlic butter sauce over the top. Let the steak and shrimp absorb the flavors of the sauce for a few minutes.

Serve the Luscious Garlic Butter Steak & Shrimp Medley:

  1. Plate and Serve: Slice the steak against the grain and serve alongside the shrimp. Drizzle any remaining garlic butter sauce over the top, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
