Steak With Creamy Garlic Shrimp
Description
This recipe starts by seasoning and searing New York Strip steaks to achieve a browned exterior and a juicy interior based on cooking time. The creamy garlic shrimp are prepared in the same pan by melting butter, cooking the shrimp briefly until pink, then sautéing garlic before deglazing with white wine or chicken broth. Heavy cream is added along with Parmesan cheese to create a thick, rich sauce that complements the shrimp’s tenderness.
The contrast between the charred steak and smooth, garlicky cream sauce with shrimp makes this dish distinctive. It combines beef and seafood on one plate for a surf-and-turf style meal that offers varied textures and flavors with minimal ingredients and straightforward steps.
Various steak cuts like Sirloin, Rib-eye, T-bone, Eye fillet, or Porterhouse may be swapped based on preference. The heavy cream can be substituted with lighter dairy like half and half, light cream, or evaporated milk if preferred.
Ingredients
Steaks:
- 4 New York Strip steak Porterhouse steaks
- 1 pinch salt to season
- 1 pinch black pepper to season
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil

- Heat a large cast iron skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Sear/grill steaks for 4-5 minutes each side until browned and cooked to desired doneness.
- Transfer steaks to a warm plate; set aside.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in the skillet (if using a skillet). Add shrimp to the skillet, season with salt and pepper and sear until just cooked and pink -- about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; set aside.(For grill: grill seasoned shrimp while brushing with melted butter until done.)
- To the same skillet, add the remaining butter, add the garlic, sauté until fragrant (about one minute). (If grilling meats, you will need to grab a pan or skillet for this step.)
- Pour in the white wine (or broth), and allow to reduce to half, while scraping any bits off of the bottom of the pan.
- Reduce heat to low-medium heat, add the cream and bring to a simmer, while stirring occasionally. Add in the parmesan cheese; allow to melt through the simmering sauce. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
- Add the shrimp back into the pan; sprinkle with the parsley, and stir through.
- Serve with steaks.
Notes
- You can use other steak cuts such as Sirloin, Rib-eye, T-bone, Eye fillet, Scotch fillet, or Porterhouse according to your preference.
- Heavy cream can be replaced with half and half, light cream, or evaporated milk for a lighter sauce if desired.
