Instructions
- Season the Steak and Shrimp
In a large bowl, season the steak pieces with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. In a separate bowl, season the shrimp with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. - Cook the Steak Bites
Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak bites in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove the steak bites from the skillet and set them aside. - Cook the Shrimp
In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp of olive oil and 1 tbsp of butter. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set them aside with the steak bites. - Make the Garlic Butter Sauce
Reduce the heat to medium. In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tbsp of butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in a splash of lemon juice and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan for added flavor. - Combine and Serve
Return the steak bites and shrimp to the skillet, tossing them in the garlic butter sauce to coat. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.
