How to Make Garlic Butter Steak and Shrimp
This recipe is so easy and cooks up quickly! It’s a great dinner to make to impress any guests because it looks like you spent all day in the kitchen making it!
- Cook steak: Turn a medium sized skillet to high heat. Add the olive oil and butter and then add the steaks. Cook on each side for 3 minutes or until outside is browned. Reduce heat to medium high. Cook the steaks to desired doneness. Mine took about 8 minutes flipping 3 times to get a medium. Once they are done then remove them and set aside on a plate.
- Add shrimp and butter: Reduce the skillet heat to medium. Add the shrimp and garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes until opaque. Put the steaks back to the skillet. Then, make the garlic butter compound. Mix the butter, garlic and fresh chopped herbs. Slather on top of steaks.

You can use any other part of salmon, like salmon steaks which are cheaper, or any other fish that suits your budget and location. You can also make this with prawns or chicken instead of fish. For prawns, start baking the vegetables earlier and add the prawns in the last 5 minutes as they don’t need much time to cook. For chicken, it’s the other way around. Slice the chicken fillets into thinner strips and bake for 5 minutes before adding the vegetables, then cook for 15 more minutes together, so a total of 20 minutes for thin strips of chicken.
