  2. Drizzle in the lemon juice and stir in the chopped parsley. Pour this mixture over the steak and shrimp.

Notes

Let the meat rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing to retain its juices. Avoid overcooking the shrimp to prevent them from becoming rubbery. Consider adding veggies like asparagus or zucchini to the shrimp for a complete meal.
