BLACKENED STEAK AND SHRIMP SCAMPI

Ingredients:

2 ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)

1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 tablespoons blackening seasoning

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup chicken broth

1 lemon, juiced

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions:

Preheat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat.

Rub the steaks generously with blackening seasoning. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and let rest.

In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

 

Add the shrimp to the skillet, seasoning with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 2-3 minutes until shrimp are pink and opaque.

Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, stirring to combine. Let simmer for another 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.

 

Remove from heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter until melted and creamy.

Slice the steak and serve alongside the shrimp scampi, drizzling the sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley.
