Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 2 boneless ribeye steaks
- 12 ounces (340 grams) shrimp, peeled and deveined
Dairy and Cream Components:
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) heavy cream
- 1/2 cup (50 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
Seasonings and Aromatics:
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) white wine or chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Sear ribeye steaks in a sizzling hot skillet with olive oil, generously seasoning with salt and pepper. Achieve a golden-brown crust by cooking 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, then transfer to a resting plate.
- Using the same skillet, melt butter and quickly sauté shrimp until they transform into vibrant pink morsels with a translucent center. Remove shrimp and set aside alongside the steaks.
- Infuse the skillet with minced garlic, allowing its aromatic essence to bloom for one minute. Deglaze the pan with white wine, carefully scraping up caramelized remnants from the bottom of the skillet.
- Reduce liquid volume by half, then introduce heavy cream and freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Whisk continuously until the sauce transforms into a luxurious, velvety consistency. Season with salt and pepper to elevate the flavor profile.
- Reunite the seared steaks and succulent shrimp in the creamy sauce, gently warming them through to ensure perfect temperature and flavor integration.
- Present the dish by slicing steaks against the grain, artfully arranging shrimp, and drizzling the rich garlic Parmesan cream sauce. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and bright lemon wedges to add a zesty, fresh dimension.
Notes
- Perfectly sear steaks by ensuring the skillet is hot before adding meat, creating a beautiful caramelized crust that locks in delicious flavors.
- Control seafood cooking time meticulously to prevent rubbery shrimp, removing them from heat immediately after turning pink to maintain tender texture.
- Create richer sauce by using high-quality Parmesan cheese and deglazing pan thoroughly to capture all the flavorful browned bits from meat and seafood.
- Adapt recipe for low-carb diets by substituting heavy cream with coconut cream or using cauliflower puree as a lighter sauce alternative.
