• New York Strip Steaks: I like to make sure that my steaks are lean. 
• Salt and Pepper: Use this to your discrestion to season the steak.
• Olive Oil and Butter: The steak is cooked in oil and butter to give it some flavor and a perfect outside edge.
• Large Shrimp: Make it easy on yourself by using peeled and deveined shrimp.
• Garlic Cloves: If you don’t have any fresh garlic cloves then you can use minced garlic. ½ teaspoon equals about 1 clove of garlic.

Garlic Butter Compound:

• Butter: Soften this to room temperature before making it.
• Garlic Cloves: Just like for the steak, if you don’t have any fresh garlic cloves then you can use minced garlic. ½ teaspoon equals about 1 clove of garlic.

How to Make Garlic Butter Steak and Shrimp

This recipe is so easy and cooks up quickly! It’s a great dinner to make to impress any guests because it looks like you spent all day in the kitchen making it!

1. Cook steak: Turn a medium sized skillet to high heat. Add the olive oil and butter and then add the steaks. Cook on each side for 3 minutes or until outside is browned. Reduce heat to medium high. Cook the steaks to desired doneness. Mine took about 8 minutes flipping 3 times to get a medium. Once they are done then remove them and set aside on a plate.
2. Add shrimp and butter: Reduce the skillet heat to medium. Add the shrimp and garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes until opaque. Put the steaks back to the skillet. Then, make the garlic butter compound. Mix the butter, garlic and fresh chopped herbs. Slather on top of steaks.
