Preparation

Step 1: Season the Steak and Shrimp

• In a large bowl, add the steak bites. Season them with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
• In a separate bowl, add the shrimp. Season them with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Toss gently to combine.

Step 2: Cook the Steak Bites

• Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add the steak bites in a single layer, ensuring the pan is not overcrowded to allow a good sear.
• Sear each side for 2-3 minutes until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness.
• Remove the steak bites from the skillet and set them aside.

Step 3: Cook the Shrimp

• In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.
• Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, just until they turn pink and opaque.
• Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set them aside with the steak bites.

Step 4: Make the Garlic Butter Sauce

• Lower the heat to medium. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in the skillet.
• Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until it becomes fragrant.
• Stir in a splash of lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan to infuse the sauce with extra flavor.

Step 5: Combine and Serve

• Return the steak bites and shrimp to the skillet, tossing them in the garlic butter sauce until they are evenly coated.
• Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for a burst of citrus flavor.
