Equipment

  • skillet

Ingredients
  

Shrimp

  • 8 ounces large shrimp, peel and deveined
  • 1//4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Filet mignon

  • 2 6-ounce filet mignon, 1 inch thick
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon canola or avocado oil

Instructions
 

Fiet Mignon

  • Remove filet mignon from refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking, to bring to room temperature.
  • Pre-heat cast iron skillet over high heat for 3-5 minutes. Meanwhile, season both sides of the fillet with salt and pepper.
  • Once the pan is hot, add oil. Reduce heat to medium-high and add steaks into pan, making sure they do not touch each other.
  • Sear both sides. (For 1" steak, sear for 3 minutes. Turn and sear for another 3 minutes).
  • If your steak is thicker than 1 inch and/or you'd like a medium to medium-well done steak: transfer the caste iron pan to the oven. Bake until desired doneness (approximately another 5-8 minutes) Use a meat thermometer and refer to the temperature in the notes below.
  • Once cooked to desired temperature, remove immediately from the hot pan and transfer to a plate. Let rest, covered loosely with foil for 3-5 minutes.

Shrimp

  • Season shrimp with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once butter is melted and hot, add the shrimp and spread into a single layer. Cook for about 2 minutes, then turn using thongs.
  • Add minced garlic to pan and continue to cook shrimp for another 1-2 minutes. Cooked shrimp will form a "U" shape and turn pink in color.
  • Remove from heat and add remaining tablespoon of butter and parsley.
  • Pour shrimp and garlic butter sauce over filet mignon and serve immediately. Enjoy!
