Surf & Turf with Creamy Garlic Sauce There is nothing quite like a classic Surf & Turf dinner to make an evening feel extra special! This recipe is easy on the preparation, gentle on the palate, and absolutely delicious. It’s the perfect way to treat yourself to a restaurant-quality meal right in the comfort of your own home.

 

Ingredients:

2 small beef steaks (sirloin or filet mignon work best)
10-12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup heavy cream
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt, pepper, and a pinch of dried parsley to taste

Instructions:

1. Prep the Proteins: Pat your steaks and shrimp dry with a paper towel. Season both lightly with salt and pepper.
2. 2. Sear the Steak:Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and cook for 3–5 minutes per side (depending on your preferred doneness). Remove steaks from the pan and let them rest on a plate.
3.Cook the Shrimp: In the same pan, add the shrimp. Sauté for about 2–3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp and set aside with the steak.
4. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of butter and the minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens slightly.
5.Serve: Return the steak and shrimp to the pan just long enough to coat them in the creamy garlic sauce. Garnish with a sprinkle of dried parsley.

Serve this alongside some steamed asparagus or a fluffy baked potato for a wonderful, cozy dinner.
