Preparation

Cooking

  • Sear the seasoned steaks in the skillet for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare.
  • Remove the cooked steaks and let them rest on a cutting board.
  • In the same skillet, lower the heat and sauté the minced garlic for about 30 seconds.
  • Add the peeled and deveined shrimp and cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Pour in the heavy cream and optional white wine, stirring everything together and letting it simmer for 3-4 minutes.
  • Add paprika, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir to combine.
  • Slice the rested steaks into thick strips.

  • Serve the creamy shrimp and steak on plates, drizzling extra sauce on top.

Notes

Consider marinating the steaks in spices overnight for extra flavor. Allow shrimp to reach room temperature for even cooking. Add cayenne pepper for a kick. Serve with sides such as mashed potatoes or green salad.
