The cooking process explained
Creating Steak with Creamy Garlic Shrimp is straightforward, even for novice cooks. You’ll start by seasoning and searing the steaks to your desired doneness. While the steaks rest, you’ll whip up the sauce in the same skillet, maximizing the flavor by deglazing with chicken broth. Finally, the shrimp are cooked to perfection and returned to the creamy concoction, transforming an already delicious dish into something extraordinary.
What you’ll need
To prepare this heavenly dish, gather the following ingredients:
- 2 ribeye or filet mignon steaks
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 10–12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley or green onions, chopped
