This is exactly what your steak and shrimp need. First, start by adding the softened butter, freshly minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon juice, and a sprinkle of salt to a mixing bowl. Next, scoop the mixed butter onto one side of a 1-1.5 foot piece of plastic wrap or wax paper. Gently roll the butter up into a “log” shape, then set it in the fridge to allow it to harden. And that’s it! This garlic herb butter is perfect for garlic butter steak and shrimp, but it’s also pretty darn great added to literally any other savory recipe requiring butter.

Grilling Your Steak While your garlic herb butter is chilling in the fridge, lather the three ribeye steaks with canola oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Set the steaks into the fridge for 40 minutes to allow the seasonings time to soak in, then pull them out and bring them to room temperature for 15 minutes before cooking. Meanwhile, heat your grill to around 375ºF for direct cooking. Set a cast iron skillet on the grill, add in the clarified butter, and allow it to heat up for a couple of minutes. While the pan warms up, pull your prepped garlic herb butter from the fridge, and slice it into 1/2″ medallions. Next, add the steaks to the hot pan and cook them for around 2-2.5 minutes per side or until the internal temperature has reached 120ºF. When you flip the steaks, top each with a medallion of the garlic herb butter and allow it to melt. Once the steaks are done cooking, take them off of the grill and let them sit for 10 minutes to give the juices time to settle back into the meat. Cooking The Shrimp Lastly, we cook up our shrimp! Remove any excess grease from the skillet, then add it back onto the grill and lower the temperature to 325ºF. Deglaze the pan with the white wine, then add in a drizzle of hot sauce and the remaining garlic butter medallions. Let the butter melt, then add in the shrimp and cook for 1.5 minutes on each side. Remove it from the skillet and allow it to rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Loving the steak and shrimp combo?
