Garlic Butter Surf and Turf

🥩🦐 Garlic Butter Surf & Turf 💛🔥

This garlic butter surf and turf delivers an indulgent combination of juicy, well-seared steak and tender shrimp coated in rich garlic butter. Every component is designed to highlight bold, savoury flavours while keeping the texture of both steak and seafood tender and succulent. By cooking the shrimp in the same skillet used for the steak, the dish naturally absorbs the browned bits and aromatic butter, creating a layered depth typically found in restaurant-style preparations. A final drizzle of warm garlic butter ties everything together, making this an impressive yet approachable meal for special occasions or relaxed weekends.
