GARLIC BUTTER SKILLET STEAK AND SHRIMP

Steps:

• MAKE THE BUTTER: Combine the butter, garlic, chopped parsley, and chopped thyme with a generous pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until you're ready to use it.
• PREP THE STEAKS: Make sure to remove the steaks from the refrigerator at least 20 minutes before cooking. Pat down the steaks with a paper towel, brush with just a little bit of olive oil on both sides and generously season your steaks with salt and pepper on both sides, really rub it in and make sure it sticks.
• COOK: Heat a large cast iron skillet over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter along with roughly 1 tablespoon of olive oil and allow the oil to heat through. Add the steaks to the pan along with the two whole cloves of garlic and cook the steaks for roughly 3-7 minutes on each side depending on the thickness of the steak and your preference of doneness. Check the temperature using a meat thermometer and when it reaches your desired doneness, remove the steaks to a plate and let rest for 5-7 minutes.
• SHRIMP: If you have a ton of grease leftover from the steak, discard most of it, leaving just 1 tablespoon to cook the shrimp in. While the steak is resting, add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the pan (if you didn't have much oil left) over medium heat and add the shrimp. Move them around and season them with salt and pepper. Cook just long enough for them to curl up into a 'c' shape, about 1 - 1½ minutes.
• SERVE: when ready to serve, top the shrimp and steak with a generous dollop of the prepared garlic butter and serve warm with your favorite sides!

STEAK WITH CREAMY GARLIC SHRIMP

Steps:

• Pat steaks dry with paper towel. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat a large cast iron skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Sear/grill steaks for 4-5 minutes each side until browned and cooked to desired doneness.
• Transfer steaks to a warm plate; set aside.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in the skillet (if using a skillet). Add shrimp to the skillet, season with salt and pepper and sear until just cooked and pink -- about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; set aside.(For grill: grill seasoned shrimp while brushing with melted butter until done.)
• To the same skillet, add the remaining butter, add the garlic, sauté until fragrant (about one minute). (If grilling meats, you will need to grab a pan or skillet for this step.)
• Pour in the white wine (or broth), and allow to reduce to half, while scraping any bits off of the bottom of the pan.
• Reduce heat to low-medium heat, add the cream and bring to a simmer, while stirring occasionally. Add in the parmesan cheese; allow to melt through the simmering sauce. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
• Add the shrimp back into the pan; sprinkle with the parsley, and stir through.
• Serve with steaks.

STEAK AND SHRIMP SPECIAL

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to high. Alternatively, preheat a broiler to high. Season the steaks liberally with the steak seasoning on both sides. Cook the steaks over high heat to order: about 2 minutes on each side for rare, 2 1/2 minutes on each side for medium-rare, 3 1/2 minutes on each side for medium, and 4 1/2 minutes on each side for medium well. Halfway through the cooking time on each side, turn each steak 45 degrees to make grill marks.
• Add half the clarified butter to a large skillet and heat over high heat. Add the shrimp skewers and cook the shrimp on both sides until they are opaque throughout, about 1 to 2 minutes per side.
• Fill a deep fryer with oil and heat it to 350 degrees F. Alternatively, heat oil in a large, heavy Dutch oven to 350 degrees F; do not fill pan more than halfway full with oil. Drop the fries into the fryer and cook until they are golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove to a paper towel lined plate to drain and season the fries with salt.
• To serve, place 1 steak on a plate, top the steak with skewered shrimp, and add some French fries. Garnish with a lemon wedge and serve with a small dish of clarified butter on the side. Serve immediately.
