Directions

Step 1: Prep Those Potatoes

1. Boil the potatoes in salted water for about 8–10 minutes (just until they’re fork-tender).
2. Drain them and set them aside.

Step 2: Cook the Steak

1. Pat your steaks dry (moisture = no crust). Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Heat olive oil in a hot skillet. Add steaks and sear for 3–4 minutes on each side.
3. Toss in butter and smashed garlic, then spoon that buttery goodness over the steaks. Cook to your preferred doneness. (I go for medium-rare, like 135°F!)
4. Rest steaks for 5 minutes.

Step 3: Sauté the Shrimp

1. In the same pan (less cleanup, yay!), melt butter. Add shrimp, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
2. Cook shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side until pink and juicy.

Step 4: Make the Garlic Butter Potatoes

1. In another skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant.
2. Toss in the boiled potatoes and cook until golden and crispy. Sprinkle with parsley.

Plating Tips

• Place the steak in the center of the plate.
• Add a pile of buttery shrimp on top.
• Serve the crispy garlic potatoes on the side.
