Preparation
- Generously season the T-Bone steaks with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Rub with olive oil and let sit for 30 minutes.
Cooking the Steaks
- Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook the seasoned steaks for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare.
Frying the Shrimp
- Soak the shrimp in buttermilk for at least 15 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Dredge the soaked shrimp in this mixture.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C) and gently lower the shrimp into the oil in batches. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
Serving

Notes
Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: 145°F for medium-rare and 160°F for medium. Fry shrimp in batches to maintain crispness.
