Ingredients
Scale:
2 ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Season both sides of the ribeye steaks generously with salt and pepper. Let them rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes to enhance their flavor.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Carefully place the steaks in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or cook to your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer for precision.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium. Add butter and let it melt, then add minced garlic and shrimp, cooking until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, simmering until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and chopped parsley.
In a small bowl, mix together chopped basil, parsley, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper for the herb sauce.
Slice the rested steaks and place them on serving plates. Top with the creamy garlic shrimp and drizzle with the herb sauce.
