Ingredients
For the Steak
- 2 pieces ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
For the Creamy Sauce
- 1 cup shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup lobster meat, cooked and chopped Can use canned or frozen
- 2 tablespoons butter

- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preparation
- Season both sides of your ribeye steaks generously with salt and pepper.
Cooking
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Adjust the time based on your preferred level of doneness.
- Once done, transfer the steaks to a plate to rest.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the shrimp and lobster meat, stirring for another 2-3 minutes until they’re heated through.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Return the steaks to the skillet, letting them bask in the sauce for an extra minute.
Serving
- Plate your steak, generously spoon the creamy shrimp and lobster sauce over the top, and garnish with chopped parsley.
Notes
For a shortcut, use pre-cooked shrimp. Marinate steaks in olive oil, garlic, and herbs for added flavor. Pair with garlic mashed potatoes or arugula salad for a complete meal.
