Today’s recipe features Steak and Shrimp Scampi, a mouth-watering combination of juicy steak and shrimp cooked in a rich garlic butter sauce. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply looking to treat yourself, this dish is sure to impress.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 steaks (ribeye or filet mignon)
  • 1 lb shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 5 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon fresh parsley (chopped)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Steaks

Start by heating a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and let it warm up. Season the steaks with salt and pepper, and then sear them in the skillet for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Remove the steaks from the skillet and set them aside to rest.

Step 2: Cook the Shrimp

In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and are fully cooked. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3: Sauté Garlic and Butter

Add the remaining butter to the skillet, followed by the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

Step 4: Combine the Shrimp and Garlic Sauce

Stir in the lemon juice and red pepper flakes (optional), then return the shrimp to the pan. Toss the shrimp in the garlic butter sauce and cook for an additional 2 minutes, ensuring they are well-coated.

Step 5: Serve and Garnish

Slice the rested steaks and serve them alongside the shrimp. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for an added burst of flavor.

Equipment

Notes

  • For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine to the garlic butter sauce while sautéing the garlic.
  • If you prefer a spicier version of this dish, increase the amount of red pepper flakes.
  • Ensure the steak is rested before slicing to retain its juices and tenderness.
  • You can substitute the shrimp with scallops if you prefer, though the cooking times will vary slightly.
