πŸ₯©πŸ€ Garlic Butter Shrimp and Asparagus with Steak


(A rich, flavorful, and absolutely irresistible feast!)


πŸ“‹ Ingredients:

For the Steak:

  • 2 ribeye steaks or filet mignons (or your favorite cut)

  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)

  • Fresh rosemary or thyme (optional, for garnish)

For the Garlic Butter Shrimp:

  • 1 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined)

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a spicy kick)

For the Asparagus:

  • 1 pound fresh asparagus (ends trimmed)

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • Salt and black pepper (to taste)


πŸ‘©‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Roast the Asparagus:

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  • Place the asparagus on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss gently to coat evenly.

  • Arrange the asparagus in a single layer and roast for 12–15 minutes, until tender yet still crisp.

  • Remove from the oven and set aside.

2. Cook the Steak:

  • Season the steaks generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat.

  • Once the pan is hot, add the steaks. Sear for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting slightly for your preferred doneness.

  • During the last minute of cooking, add 2 tablespoons butter and the minced garlic to the pan.
    Tilt the pan slightly and spoon the melted garlic butter over the steaks for an extra rich flavor.

  • Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. This keeps the juices locked in and the steak tender.

3. Prepare the Garlic Butter Shrimp:

  • In the same skillet (no need to wipe clean — those flavorful steak drippings add extra depth!), heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat.

  • Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.

  • Add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until the shrimp turn pink and are just cooked through.

  • Add lemon juice, a pinch of salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Toss everything together to coat the shrimp evenly in the luscious garlic butter sauce.

  • Remove from heat immediately to prevent overcooking.

4. Assemble and Serve:

  • Arrange the roasted asparagus and seared steak on a serving plate.

  • Generously spoon the garlic butter shrimp over the steak.

  • Garnish with sprigs of fresh rosemary or thyme if desired for a beautiful, aromatic finishing touch.
