1-First, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a hot skillet over medium-high heat. Season your 1 pound of steak cubes with salt and black pepper for that perfect flavor base.

2-Sear the steak bites for 2 to 3 minutes per side until they’re nicely browned and tender. This step locks in the juices and gives a great crust.

3-Next, add 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter and 4 minced garlic cloves to the pan. Stir the steak bites around in that melty garlic butter to soak up all the goodness.

4-Move the steak aside in the skillet, then add your 1/2 pound of peeled and deveined large shrimp. Toss in extra butter if you want it even richer, and sprinkle on 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika plus a bit more salt.

5-Cook the shrimp for 1 to 2 minutes per side until they’re pink and ready. Combine everything back together in the garlic butter, garnish with 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley or chives, and add a squeeze of lemon juice if you’re feeling zesty.

6-Serve it hot right away to keep that fresh flavor and texture at its best. You’ll love how this garlic butter steak bites with shrimp comes together in just 25 minutes total!
