Preparation

  3. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest.
Cooking the Sauce
  1. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
  2. Toss in the shrimp and lobster meat, cooking until the shrimp turns pink.
  3. Pour in the heavy cream and let it simmer until the sauce thickens.
  4. Stir in chopped parsley and season with more salt and pepper if needed.

Notes

Let the steak rest to lock in the juices for maximum flavor. Consider switching shrimp for scallops for a variation. To make it saucier, add a splash more of heavy cream while simmering. Garnish with extra parsley for freshness.
