Steak With Creamy Garlic Shrimp Recipes

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.

FILET MIGNON WITH GARLIC SHRIMP CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat a heavy steel or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Brush both sides of each filet with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and sprinkle with salt. Gently place the filets into the hot skillet, and cook until they start to become firm and are reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Set the filets aside to rest, covered loosely with foil.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter with 2 tablespoons of olive oil in the skillet over medium heat until the foam subsides from the butter. Cook and stir the shallot and garlic until tender, about 2 minutes. Pour in the wine, and cook and stir until the wine reduces by half, about 3 minutes.
• Stir in the shrimp, cream, 1 tablespoon of butter, and a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Cook and stir until the sauce is thickened and velvety and the shrimp are pink, about 2 minutes.
• To serve, place filets on serving plates, and top each with half the shrimp sauce. Sauce will thicken slightly as it cools.
