Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this incredible dish:

For the Filet Mignon:

• 2 filet mignon steaks (about 6 oz each)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter

For the Shrimp and Lobster Cream Sauce:

• 1 cup heavy cream
• ½ cup cooked lobster meat, chopped (feel free to snag some from your favorite seafood counter!)
• ½ cup shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (because we need a pop of green)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Cooking Steps

1. Prepare the Filet Mignon:

• Start by taking your filet mignon steaks out of the fridge and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This way, they’ll cook evenly — we want tender, juicy perfection!
• Season both sides generously with salt and pepper. Don’t skimp on this part; we want flavor!

2. Sear the Steaks:

• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once it’s sizzling (and your kitchen starts to smell heavenly), add the steaks.
• Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust according to your preference.
• Add the butter during the last minute of cooking and spoon the melted butter over the steaks for that extra flavor. Yes, please!

3. Make the Sauce:

• In a separate saucepan, add a little olive oil and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant — about 1 minute. Be careful not to burn it (unless you enjoy a smokey taste, which is not what we’re going for!).
• Pour in the heavy cream and let it simmer for about 3-5 minutes until it starts to thicken. Stir in the lobster meat and shrimp, followed by the paprika, salt, and pepper. This is the moment you’ll want to take a taste to see how divine it is!

4. Finish Up:

• Once the sauce has thickened, add the parsley and remove it from heat. Wow, can you smell that? I’d bottle it and use it as perfume if I could!

5. Serve:

• On a plate, place the filet mignon and generously drizzle (or pour, we won’t judge) the shrimp and lobster cream sauce over the top. Voila! You’ve just created a restaurant-quality meal right at home.

Cooking Tips

• Bubbly Bliss: Don’t worry if your sauce looks a little lumpy — it just adds character! Add a splash of broth or water if it’s too thick.
• Chef’s Secret: For extra tender steaks, consider marinating your filet for a few hours with a little olive oil and herbs beforehand. You’ll thank yourself later!
• Pair It Perfectly: This delicious dish goes great with a side of garlic mashed potatoes or a crisp green salad. Or treat yourself and serve it with both!

FAQs

Can I substitute the lobster in this recipe?
Absolutely! If lobster’s not your jam or hard to find, you can use extra shrimp or even crab.

How can I store leftovers?
Store any leftover steak and sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop for the best results.
