  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season the ribeye steaks generously with salt and pepper. Let them sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes.
Cooking the Steaks
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Remove from heat and let them rest.
Making the Sauce
  1. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds.
  2. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir in paprika and bring to a gentle simmer.
  3. Add shrimp and lobster into the sauce, cooking for about 3-5 minutes until everything is heated through and shrimp are pink and opaque.
Plating
  1. Slice the rested steaks and plate them. Drizzle the creamy shrimp and lobster sauce over the top and sprinkle with fresh parsley.

Notes

If you don’t have lobster, you can substitute it with crab or use mushrooms or your favorite veggies instead. Be sure to let your steaks rest after cooking for maximum juiciness. For an extra thicker sauce, stir in a tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with water at the end.
