Instructions

1. Season & Sear the Steaks

Pat the steaks dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Add the steaks and sear for 3-4 minutes per side (for medium-rare).
Reduce heat to medium, add butter, thyme, or rosemary, and baste the steak for 1-2 minutes.
Remove steaks from the skillet, tent with foil, and let rest while you make the sauce.

2. Cook the Shrimp

In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp butter and cook the shrimp for 1-2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside.

3. Make the Lobster Sauce

In a small saucepan, melt 2 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the broth and heavy cream, whisking to combine.
Stir in the parmesan, paprika, and lemon juice. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Add the lobster meat and cooked shrimp, stirring to coat. Let it warm through for 1 minute.

4. Plate & Serve

Place the steak on a plate and spoon the shrimp & lobster sauce generously over the top.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately!

Notes

Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Reheat: Warm the steak gently in a pan and reheat the sauce separately over low heat.
Freeze: Not recommended, as the creamy sauce may separate.
