Ingredients
Scale
Steak
- 1 lb ribeye or filet mignon
Shrimp
- 8 oz fresh or frozen shrimp, peeled and deveined
Lobster Meat
- 6 oz fresh or canned lobster meat
Heavy Cream
- 1 cup heavy cream
Garlic
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
Butter
- 2 tablespoons butter
White Wine
- 1/2 cup white wine
Seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Steak: Start by seasoning the steak generously with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of butter. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add the steak and sear it for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest while you prepare the sauce.
- Sauté the Shrimp and Lobster: In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the shrimp and lobster meat, cooking until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the seafood from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the Creamy Sauce: Pour in a splash of white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for a minute before adding the heavy cream. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and any additional spices as desired.
- Combine and Serve: Return the sautéed shrimp and lobster to the skillet, stirring to coat them in the creamy sauce. Allow everything to heat through for another minute. Slice the rested steak and plate it, generously topping it with the creamy shrimp and lobster sauce.
Notes
- Let the Steak Rest: Allowing the steak to rest after cooking ensures it stays juicy and tender.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh seafood significantly enhances the flavor of the dish compared to frozen or canned alternatives.
- Don’t Overcook the Seafood: Keep an eye on the shrimp and lobster to avoid rubbery texture; they cook quickly.
- Adjust the Thickness: For a thicker sauce, let it simmer longer; for a thinner sauce, add a touch more cream or wine.
- Garnish Wisely: A sprinkle of fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon can brighten up the dish beautifully.
