Ingredients
Scale
Steak & Shrimp
- 2 ribeye or sirloin steaks (1 inch thick)
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- Olive oil (for grilling)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Garlic Butter
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat and Season: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the steaks and shrimp with olive oil, then season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika to ensure an even, flavorful crust during grilling.
- Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, and fresh parsley. Set this mixture aside to allow the flavors to meld while you grill.
- Grill Steaks: Place the steaks on the preheated grill and cook for 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust cooking time to achieve your preferred doneness. Once cooked, remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain juices.
- Grill Shrimp: While steaks are resting, grill the shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side until they turn pink and are fully cooked through.
- Serve with Garlic Butter: Drizzle the prepared garlic butter over the grilled steaks and shrimp just before serving. Optionally, garnish with additional chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
- Presentation: Serve immediately with your favorite sides such as grilled vegetables or creamy mashed potatoes to complete this satisfying meal.
Notes
- Steak thickness and grill temperature may affect cooking times, so use a meat thermometer for accurate doneness.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter.
- Allowing the steaks to rest after grilling helps keep them juicy and tender.
- You can substitute fresh lemon juice with lime juice for a slightly different citrus note.
