Ingredients

For the Steak:

• 2 ribeye or sirloin steaks (about 1 inch thick)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

For the Shrimp:

• 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)

For the Garlic Butter:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a kick)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Garlic Butter:
   • In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter.
   • Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it brown.
   • Stir in the chopped parsley and red pepper flakes if using. Remove from heat and set aside.
2. Marinate the Steak:
   • Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and place them on a plate.
   • Drizzle the olive oil over the steaks and season with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
   • Massage the seasoning into the meat for even flavor.
   • Let the steaks marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes while you prepare the shrimp.
3. Prepare the Shrimp:
   • In a bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, sea salt, smoked paprika, and lemon juice if desired.
   • Make sure the shrimp are evenly coated in the seasoning.
4. Preheat the Grill:
   • Preheat your grill to high heat (about 450°F to 500°F). If using a grill pan, preheat it over medium-high heat and lightly grease it with oil.
5. Grill the Steak:
   • Place the steaks on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium-rare (or until your desired doneness is reached).
   • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium, and 150°F for medium-well.
6. Grill the Shrimp:
   • Once the steaks are cooked, remove them from the grill and let them rest for about 5 minutes.
   • While the steaks are resting, grill the shrimp. Place them on skewers or directly on the grill. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are opaque and cooked through.
7. Serve:
   • Slice the rested steaks and arrange them on a platter.
   • Top with the garlic butter and arrange the grilled shrimp alongside.
   • Drizzle any remaining garlic butter over the shrimp for extra flavor.
8. Enjoy:
   • Serve immediately, savoring the rich flavors of the steak and shrimp paired with the irresistible garlic butter. This dish is perfect on its own or alongside a simple salad or grilled vegetables.
