Steak and Garlic Butter Shrimp: A Luxurious Surf & Turf Delight

Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat.
Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
Add olive oil to the hot skillet, followed by the steaks. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your desired level of doneness.
Once cooked, remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes. Add butter to the pan and melt it, then pour it over the steak. Garnish with fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary if desired.
Cook the Garlic Butter Shrimp:

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, until fragrant and golden brown.
Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the shrimp and stir to combine. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve:

Plate the steak alongside the garlic butter shrimp.
Drizzle the garlic butter from the skillet over the shrimp and steak for extra flavor.
