SHRIMP:
- Normal-sized shrimp, 12 ounces
INGREDIENT NOTES:
GARLIC BUTTER:
Garlic gives a classical taste to the butter. You need to mix the butter (softened) along with minced garlic (fresh). The fresh garlic gives more taste & aroma, but if you don’t have it, then you may use canned minced garlic. The addition of the combo of your favorite herbs will make it more yummy.
TURF:
There are a variety of steaks you can try in this recipe:
Ribeye steak
Garlic butter steak bites
Filet mignon
Tomahawk steak
NewYork strip
Here the recipe uses sirloin steaks. Keep the thickness of the steak to only 1 inch.
Oil of olives:
Here we are using oil of olives (extra-virgin/light) in different steps to make the dish. You are free to use any type of oil (avocado, coconut, or sunflower seed).
SURF:
Surf normally consists of any seafood. Here we are using shrimp. It is the seafood that will be easy to cook & light on the pocket as compared to other seafood.
You may cook the shrimp with garlic butter/coconut recipe. You may use fresh/frozen shrimp based on the availability. It needs to defrost before cooking if using frozen. Must peel & deveine the shrimp first. If you like the shrimp to be more flavorful, then don’t remove their tails.
You may go for other seafood options as well (lobster tail, scallops, crab legs).

INSTRUCTIONS:
STEAKS MAKING:
- If you have steaks in the fridge, then you should take them out.
- Allow them to come to normal room temperature.
- Use the brush to apply oil on both sides of the steak.
- Then dust with salt & powdered peppercorn on both sides of the whole surface.
- Use your hands to stick the seasoning so that it doesn’t fall off.
- Switch on the stove & set the flame to normal-high heat.
- Place the skillet/grill pan (cast iron) on it to heat it well.
- Include the seasoned steaks in that heated pan.
- Give it 4/5 minutes to get done from the bottom.
- Then flip & give 2–7 minutes to cook the other side.
- When it’s done according to you, then check the meat’s temperature.
- If the thermometer shows 160 degrees, then your steaks are very well tenderized.
- Dish the steaks out & pack them to keep them warm.
- Turn the switch of the stove off & allow it to cool down a little.
- Next, clean the pan from any residue so that it is ready for the following action.
GARLIC BUTTER:

SERVING:
- Place a serving plate on your counter.

- Place the cooked shrimp next to it with garlic butter on the top of the pan.

- Your surf & turf is ready to serve.
TIPS:
- If you have steaks that are thicker than half an inch, then broil them in the oven.
- Let the steak rest after cooking for 5/6 minutes; that helps to raise the temperature by 5 degrees.
- Select the temperature according to the tenderness of the steak you want.
- Check that using the thermometer to have the perfect tenderness you want.
STORAGE INFORMATION:
The dish tastes best when fresh, but if you have some of them remaining, then pack them in the locked container.
FRIDGE:
Use the fridge to keep the remaining surf & turf for 2/3 days.
FREEZER:
You can keep your surf & turf frozen for three months. It will not taste as fresh, but you may freeze it if you want.
REHEAT:
When you want to reheat them, use the oven or skillet. We recommend you heat them separately, as shrimp heat faster than the steak.
It is not necessary to use the remaining stored surf & turf as it is. Use that in other dishes like soups and salads.
