– 2 ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)
– 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 4 tablespoons butter
– 6 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
– Lemon wedges (for serving)
Follow these simple steps to create your own delicious Surf and Turf with Creamy Garlic Sauce:
1. Prepare the Steak: Season the ribeye steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Allow them to sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
2. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks and sear them for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Adjust cooking time for your preferred doneness.
3. Rest the Steaks: Once done, remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a plate, covered loosely with foil to keep them warm.
4. Cook the Shrimp: In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of butter. When melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds or until fragrant. Then, add the shrimp and sauté until they turn pink and are fully cooked, about 3-4 minutes.
5. Make the Creamy Sauce: Stir in the heavy cream, paprika, and Worcestershire sauce to the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Combine: Return the steaks to the skillet, spooning the creamy garlic sauce over the top, letting them soak in the flavor for a minute.
7. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
8. Plate the Dish: Serve the steaks topped with the sautéed shrimp and drizzling additional sauce over it. Add lemon wedges on the side for an extra flavor kick.
