Gourmet Steak with Creamy Garlic Shrimp

Sure, here’s a delicious recipe for Gourmet Steak with Creamy Garlic Shrimp:

Ingredients

For the Steak:

• 2 ribeye or filet mignon steaks (about 1.5 inches thick)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 garlic cloves, smashed
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary or thyme

For the Creamy Garlic Shrimp:

• 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

For the Steak:

1. Season the Steaks: Generously season both sides of the steaks with salt and pepper. Let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
2. Sear the Steaks: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the steaks. Sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness.
3. Add Butter and Herbs: Add the butter, smashed garlic cloves, and rosemary or thyme to the skillet. Tilt the skillet and spoon the melted butter over the steaks for about 1-2 minutes to baste them.
4. Rest the Steaks: Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board, tented with aluminum foil, while you prepare the shrimp.

For the Creamy Garlic Shrimp:

1. Season the Shrimp: Season the shrimp with salt and pepper.
2. Cook the Shrimp: In the same skillet used for the steaks, add the butter and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant.
3. Add the Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
4. Make the Cream Sauce: In the same skillet, add the heavy cream and bring it to a simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and paprika, and cook for about 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
5. Combine: Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat them in the creamy garlic sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until everything is heated through.

Serve:

1. Slice the rested steaks against the grain and arrange them on a serving platter.
2. Top with the creamy garlic shrimp.
3. Garnish with chopped parsley.
4. Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
