Surf and Turf Platter with Garlic Herb Butter

Surf & Turf Platter with Garlic Herb Butter

This surf and turf platter brings together juicy steak bites, smoky shrimp, and golden seared scallops, all tied together with a fragrant garlic herb butter. Each component is cooked separately to perfection—high-heat searing for the steak, quick sautéing for the shrimp, and careful caramelization for the scallops—before being arranged into a refined yet comforting trio. The garlic herb butter drizzled over the final platter adds richness, lemon brightness, and a delicate herbal finish, creating a restaurant-quality dish ideal for a cozy fine-dining experience at home.
