Ingredients:
-
2 ribeye steaks
-
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
-
1 lb baby potatoes
-
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
-
4 cloves garlic, minced
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
1/2 teaspoon paprika
-
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
2 tablespoons lemon juice
-
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
Wash and halve the baby potatoes. Toss them in 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika.
-
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden on the outside, and tender inside.
Step 2: Cook the Steaks
-
While the potatoes are roasting, heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
-
Season the ribeye steaks with salt, pepper, and paprika on both sides.
-
Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the hot pan and cook the steaks for about 4-5 minutes on each side (for medium-rare), or adjust based on your preferred doneness.
-
Once cooked, remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest while you cook the shrimp.
Step 3: Cook the Shrimp
-
In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of butter and melt over medium heat.
-
Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
-
Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque.
-
Stir in 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and cook for an additional minute to allow the flavors to combine.
Step 4: Serve
-
To serve, arrange the ribeye steaks on plates, add a generous helping of the roasted garlic butter potatoes, and top with the shrimp.
-
Drizzle the garlic butter sauce from the shrimp over the steak and potatoes.
-
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
Tips for Success:
-
Steak Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to check the steak's internal temperature. For medium-rare, aim for 130-135°F (54-57°C), for medium, 140-145°F (60-63°C), and for well-done, 160°F (71°C).
-
Shrimp: Be sure not to overcook the shrimp as they can become rubbery. Once they turn pink, they’re done.
-
Potato Variations: You can also make the potatoes more flavorful by adding herbs like rosemary or thyme before roasting.
