  • 1 cup lobster meat (cooked and chopped) Substitute with crab meat if unavailable.
  • 2 tablespoons butter For sautéing garlic.
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced) Fresh garlic for flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season your beautiful steaks generously with salt and black pepper. Let them sit on the counter for about 30 minutes to come to room temperature.
Cooking the Steaks
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. When hot, add the steaks and cook them for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare.
  3. Once done, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for about 5 minutes.
Making the Creamy Shrimp and Lobster Sauce
  1. In the same skillet, melt the butter and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute).
  2. Add in the shrimp and lobster meat, cooking just until the shrimp turns pink.
Creating the Creamy Sauce
  1. Pour in the heavy cream, and stir in the paprika and lemon juice.
  2. Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens.
Combine and Serve
  1. Slice the rested steak and top it with the creamy shrimp and lobster sauce.
  2. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top for garnish.

Notes

For beginners: Don’t worry if your sauce looks a little lumpy—it will smooth out with stirring. If using crab meat, you can double the shrimp instead.
