Grilled Steaks and Creamy Chipotle Shrimp
What’s on the menu for your Valentine’s Day dinner? Why decide between beef or seafood when you can so easily have them both! Surf and turf gives you the best of both worlds, alas my Grilled Steaks and Creamy Chipotle Shrimp recipe was born cooked over hot Cowboy Charcoal! I paired these beautiful NY Strips with some shrimps for the perfect meal that’s sure to be a winner for your Valentine’s Day celebration! Post Sponsored by Cowboy Charcoal We’ll kick this Grilled Steaks and Creamy Chipotle Shrimp recipe off my cooking up the shrimp. I love cooking shrimp because they’re an awesome vehicle for flavor! Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy shrimp on their own but I more often have fun getting creative with their seasonings. I knew the cream sauce was going to be the star of the shrimp side of this recipe, but I needed the shrimp to be cooked before adding them to the cream sauce. For that reason I cooked the shrimp with a bit of oil and butter. I also added in some of my Chipotle Garlic seasoning mostly because I just couldn’t help myself. I place the shrimp in a large bowl and set them aside after they have cooked. We’ll come back to them later. Now, using the same skillet we cooked the shrimp in, add some white wine. Bring that wine to a simmer and use it to gather some of the butter, oil and seasoning that was left behind from the shrimp. Now, throw all the other cream sauce ingredients except for the parmesan cheese and chipotle purée into the skillet. Mix them together and then move the skillet to the side of the grill. We’ll let this sauce simmer and reduce while we begin the work on our grilled steaks to finish out the Grilled Steaks and Creamy Chipotle Shrimp. The One that Caught my Eye It’s true, when I saw these NY Strips at the store I knew I couldn’t leave without them for this Grilled Steaks and Creamy Chipotle Shrimp recipe. They were so bright and had such amazing marbling that I edited this recipe to include these beauts. Then I realized Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and thought this was the perfect opportunity to create a recipe that’ll be a pleaser for beef and seafood lovers alike. Paired with some high quality Cowboy Charcoal, and things just work out like that! The wonderful thing about NY Strip steaks is that they’re one of the more tender cuts of meat, and the fat within the cut brings some pretty robust flavoring. For this recipe I only seasoned the steaks with salt before placing them over the fire. After the first flip on the steaks, I started brushing them with some melted butter and minced garlic. This is a simple trick that keeps the steak juicy and another way to add simple but delicious flavoring to the steaks. Cook the steaks to your preference then let them rest. Now, back to the creamy chipotle shrimp. You’re the Shrimp to my Grilled Steaks Now that our cream sauce has reduced a bit, add in the parmesan cheese and chipotle purée. I keep stirring to let the cheese melt. If you like a thicker sauce feel free to add more parmesan cheese. Then, add the cooked shrimp back into the skillet and mix with the creamy chipotle sauce until the shrimp are covered. Dinner for Two Slice up those steaks against the grain and place them on one side of the plate. Cowboy Charcoal is a great addition for making that perfect Valentine’s Day Dinner. Serve this plate with these Grilled Steaks and Creamy Chipotle Shrimp for the wing. I garnish with parsley at the end! Cheers!
