  • 8–12 shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • Salt and pepper, to taste (for shrimp)
  • 1 tbsp butter (for shrimp)
  • 1/2 cup cooked lobster meat, chopped
  • 1 tbsp butter (for sauce)
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup chicken or seafood broth
  • 1 tbsp grated Parmesan
  • Pinch of paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste (for sauce)
  • Optional: squeeze of lemon, chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Pat filet mignon dry and season with salt and black pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil and 2 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steaks for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove and let rest.
  3. In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp butter and sauté shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side until pink. Remove and set aside.
  4. In a saucepan, melt 1 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  5. Stir in lobster meat, heavy cream, and broth. Simmer 3–5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  6. Add Parmesan, paprika, salt, and pepper. Finish with lemon juice and parsley if desired.
  7. Plate steak, top with shrimp, and spoon lobster cream sauce over the top. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure steak reaches 130°F for medium-rare.
  • Thaw and pat dry frozen shrimp or lobster before cooking.
  • Keep sauce at a gentle simmer to avoid curdling the cream.
  • Grill the steaks instead of pan-searing for a smoky finish.
  • Double the sauce ingredients for extra richness.
