Ingredients
– 1 pound of sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-size cubes
– 1/2 pound of large shrimp, peeled and deveined
– 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter
– 4 minced garlic cloves
– 1 tablespoon of olive oil
– Salt and black pepper to taste
– 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika
– 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley or chives
– Optional: A squeeze of lemon juice for added brightness
Instructions
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!

๐ฅ Keep the skillet very hot for a good sear on the steak – this creates the perfect crust and locks in juices for maximum flavor
๐ง Use fresh garlic instead of garlic powder for the best flavor – fresh garlic creates a more aromatic and authentic garlic butter sauce
โฐ Don’t overcook the shrimp – they cook quickly and become rubbery if left in the pan too long, remove them as soon as they turn pink
