Total Time: 15 minutes

🍽 Ingredients

• 1 (8-ounce) steak Steak
• 6-8 large shrimp, peeled and deveined Shrimp
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 cloves, minced Garlic
• 1/4 cup Dry white wine
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1/4 cup, chopped Fresh parsley
• 1/2, juiced Lemon
• To taste Salt and pepper

📖 Instructions

1. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Don't be shy with the pepper!
2. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks and sear for 3-4 minutes per side, for medium-rare. Adjust timing based on your desired doneness. Remove steaks and let them rest on a plate, tenting loosely with foil.
3. In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon more olive oil. Add minced garlic (about 4 cloves) and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic—it'll taste bitter if you do!
4. Add the shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
5. In the same skillet, add 1/4 cup dry white wine (like Sauvignon Blanc). Let it simmer for a couple of minutes to reduce slightly and deglaze the pan.
6. Stir in 2 tablespoons of butter, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, and the juice of half a lemon. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Return the steaks and shrimp to the skillet, tossing gently to coat them in the scampi sauce. Cook for another minute or two, just to heat everything through. Don't overcook the shrimp or steak!
8. Serve immediately over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread. Garnish with extra parsley and a wedge of lemon, if desired. Enjoy!

📝 Notes

• For extra flavor, marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
• You can substitute unsalted butter if you are watching sodium intake.
