Instructions
Ready to get cooking? Follow these steps for a meal that’s sure to impress:
- Season the ribeye steaks generously with salt and pepper. Let them sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, until the desired doneness is reached. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove and set aside with the steaks.
- Reduce the heat to medium, add the minced garlic to the skillet, and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine with the garlic. Allow the sauce to simmer for 2-3 minutes, then stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
- Add the lemon juice to the sauce, season with salt and pepper to taste, and let the sauce simmer for another 2 minutes.
- Return the steaks and shrimp to the skillet, spooning the creamy garlic sauce over them. Allow everything to warm through for a minute or two.
- Garnish with chopped parsley before serving, if desired.
And there you have it—a dish that transforms any evening into a celebration.
