Ingredients
Scale
Steak & Shrimp
- 2 ribeye or sirloin steaks (1 inch thick)
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- Olive oil (for grilling)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Garlic Butter Sauce
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat and Season: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the steaks and shrimp lightly with olive oil, then season evenly with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika to enhance flavor.
- Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter with minced garlic, lemon juice, and freshly chopped parsley. Stir well and set aside to let the flavors meld.
- Grill Steaks: Place the steaks on the hot grill and cook for 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness, or adjust the time based on your preferred level of doneness. Once cooked, remove steaks from the grill and allow them to rest for 5 minutes to redistribute the juices.
- Grill Shrimp: While the steaks are resting, grill the shrimp on the same grill for 2–3 minutes per side until they turn pink and are fully cooked through.
- Finish with Garlic Butter: Drizzle the prepared garlic butter sauce over the grilled steaks and shrimp just before serving to add a rich and aromatic touch. Optionally, garnish with extra fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
- Serve: Serve the garlic butter grilled steak and shrimp immediately alongside your favorite sides such as grilled vegetables or creamy mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
Notes
- Resting the steak after grilling is essential to keep it juicy and tender.
- You can adjust the amount of garlic in the butter to suit your taste preference.
- If you don’t have a grill, you can cook the steak and shrimp on a stovetop grill pan.
- For a spicy kick, add a pinch of chili flakes to the garlic butter sauce.
- Use fresh parsley for the best flavor; dried parsley won’t provide the same fresh taste.
