Ingredients

Scale

Certified Angus Beef ® Delmonico steak, 2 inches thick, cut into a heart shape

5 teaspoons fine sea salt, divided

2.5 teaspoons black pepper, divided

1 teaspoon olive oil blend (10% EVOO)

4 U/15 wild caught shrimp

6 tablespoons salted butter, divided

1 fresh lemon, juiced and zested

3 peeled garlic cloves

Instructions

1. Prepare Shrimp: Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel. In a mixing bowl, toss the shrimp with the olive oil blend, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.

2. Season and Grill Steak: Season the Delmonico steaks with the remaining salt and pepper. Grill over high heat for 4-5 minutes per side or until they reach an internal temperature of 125°F for medium rare. Allow the steaks to rest while preparing the shrimp.

3. Grill Shrimp: Grill the shrimp over high heat for 2 minutes on one side. While the shrimp grill, add 4 tablespoons of butter and the garlic to a pan over medium heat. Flip the shrimp and grill for an additional 2 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to the pan and stir in the parsley and lemon zest; sear for another 2 minutes.

4. Prepare Butter Sauce: Remove the pan from heat, stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the lemon juice until melted.

5. Serve the steak topped with the shrimp and drizzled with the butter sauce.

Notes

Resting Time: Allowing the steak to rest after grilling helps retain its juices.

Butter Sauce: Be sure to add the remaining butter and lemon juice off the heat to create a smooth and rich sauce.

Pairing Suggestion: Serve with roasted asparagus and a glass of Chardonnay to complement the flavors of the steak and shrimp.
