Ingredients
Scale
Gather these ingredients, and you’re halfway to a meal that’s sure to impress:
- 1 bone-in tomahawk steak (about 2–3 pounds)
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 lemon, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Optional: 1 teaspoon smoked paprika for the shrimp
If you’re missing fresh rosemary, dried works in a pinch but use half the amount. And if smoked paprika isn’t your thing, a pinch of cayenne adds a nice kick to the shrimp.
Instructions
Let’s get cooking! Here’s how you can bring this dish to life:
- Remove the tomahawk steak from the fridge about 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature. This helps it cook evenly.
- Season the steak generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Don’t be shy here; the seasoning is key to a great crust.
- Preheat your grill to high heat. If you’re using a stovetop, heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat.
- While the grill is heating, toss the shrimp with olive oil, garlic, rosemary, smoked paprika (if using), and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Set aside.
- Place the steak on the grill (or skillet) and let it sear for about 5-7 minutes on each side, depending on thickness, until it reaches your desired level of doneness. I recommend using a meat thermometer—aim for 130°F for medium-rare.
- Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes. This rest time is crucial for juicy results.
- While the steak rests, grill the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes per side, until they’re pink and opaque.
- Transfer the shrimp to a serving platter. Add butter to the hot pan or grill, allowing it to melt and sizzle with the remaining garlic and lemon slices for an extra burst of flavor.
- Slice the steak against the grain, arrange it on the platter with the shrimp, and drizzle with the garlicky butter lemon sauce.
And there you have it! A dish that’s sure to bring smiles and maybe a few happy sighs to your dinner table.
