Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Steak

Season the sirloin steak with salt, pepper, and paprika. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from skillet and let it rest.

2

Make the Shrimp Scampi

In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of butter and minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the shrimp and cook until pink, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Remove and set aside.

3

Prepare Coconut Shrimp

In a separate bowl, combine coconut flakes and panko breadcrumbs. Dip shrimp into the mixture, pressing to adhere. Heat remaining butter and olive oil in a pan. Fry the coated shrimp until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels.

4

Sauté Seasonal Vegetables

In another skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add seasonal vegetables and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender. Season with salt and pepper.

5

Serve

Slice the steak and arrange it on a plate. Top with shrimp scampi, add coconut shrimp on the side, and serve with sautéed vegetables.
