Ingredients:
4 filet mignon steaks
8 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 cup lobster meat, chopped
1 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup vegetable or chicken broth
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
Prepare the Filet Mignon:
Season the filet mignon steaks generously with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook the steaks for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest while you prepare the sauce.
Cook the Shrimp and Lobster:
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of butter. Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the shrimp and lobster to the skillet, cooking until the shrimp are pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the shrimp and lobster from the skillet and set aside.
Make the Cream Sauce:
Deglaze the skillet by adding vegetable or chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Stir in the heavy cream and let it simmer until the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
Return the shrimp and lobster to the skillet to warm through.
Assemble the Dish:
Place each filet mignon steak on a plate. Spoon the creamy shrimp and lobster sauce generously over the top.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a touch of color and flavor.
Serve:
Enjoy this luxurious dish with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or your favorite side.
Serving Tips:
Rest the Steak: After cooking the filet mignon, let the steaks rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
Pairing: Serve your filet mignon with shrimp and lobster cream sauce alongside classic sides such as mashed potatoes, steamed asparagus, or roasted vegetables. A light, crisp salad or a fresh green vegetable can also complement the richness of the dish.
Presentation: For an elegant presentation, plate each filet mignon steak and spoon the shrimp and lobster cream sauce generously over the top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or a sprig of thyme for a touch of color.
Storage Tips:
Refrigeration: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The steak, shrimp, and lobster can be kept together with the sauce for up to 3 days.
Freezing: While freezing cooked steak and seafood is possible, the texture might change slightly. If you choose to freeze, place the leftovers in a freezer-safe container or wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Reheating: Reheat leftovers gently to avoid overcooking. You can reheat in a skillet over low heat or in the oven. If reheating from frozen, defrost in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
Avoid Overheating: When reheating, especially with the cream sauce, do so over low heat and stir frequently to prevent the sauce from separating or curdling.
