Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb steak (your choice of cut, e.g., ribeye or sirloin) Make sure steak is at room temperature before cooking.
  • 1 lb shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • 6 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Pepper (to taste)
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish) Chopped, for garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients. If you haven’t done so, peel and devein the shrimp and mince the garlic.
  2. Generously season both sides of the steak with salt and pepper. Allow it to sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Cooking
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak to the pan. Cook for about 4–5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust timing based on your preferred doneness.
  2. Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest while you cook the shrimp.
  3. In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of butter along with the minced garlic. Sauté the garlic for about 30 seconds, being careful not to burn it.
  4. Then, add the shrimp and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for about 3–4 minutes until shrimp are pink and opaque.
  5. Slice the rested steak and return it to the skillet, mixing everything together to ensure the flavors meld. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

For alternatives, opt for halal-certified beef or shrimp. You can use chicken or tofu for a different twist. Avoid overcrowding the pan when cooking shrimp.
