Surf & Turf Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Skirt Steak

    Season the skirt steak with salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Rub the seasonings into the meat thoroughly. Let it sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Skirt Steak

    Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the skirt steak and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine the shrimp, minced garlic, lemon juice, remaining olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly.

  4. 4

    Cook the Shrimp

    In the same skillet or grill pan used for the steak, add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Slice the skirt steak against the grain and serve alongside the shrimp. Garnish with fresh parsley.
