Ingredients

For the Shrimp Scampi

  • 1/2 pound linguine
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon garlic minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 pound jumbo shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/3 cup white wine or chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons parsley finely chopped (extra for garnishing)

For the Garlic-Infused Steak

  • 1/2 pound NY Strip Steak
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tablespoon high-smoke-point oil avocado, coconut, or canola recommended
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic minced

Instructions

Preparing the Linguine

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add linguine. Cook until al dente—roughly 7 minutes. Drain. Set aside.

Crafting the Shrimp Scampi

  • Heat a skillet over medium flame. Meld butter and olive oil together.
  • Toss in garlic and red pepper flakes; sauté briefly—about a minute.
  • Introduce the shrimp to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Stir until the shrimp turn a luscious pink—typically around 5 minutes. Relocate shrimp to a plate.
  • Pour in the white wine or chicken broth and lemon juice. Let the concoction bubble for a mere minute.
  • Kill the heat. Stir in parsley. Reintroduce the linguine and shrimp, tossing to amalgamate flavors.

Searing the Steak to Perfection

  • Crank up a large cast-iron pan over high heat. Meanwhile, season the steak with salt and pepper. Lightly brush with oil.
  • Once the pan is roaring hot, lay the steak down. Sear for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side or until you reach your preferred level of doneness.
  • In a separate bowl, combine butter and minced garlic.
  • Slather the garlic butter over the steak. Allow it to rest for about 5 minutes before slicing (remember to cut against the grain).
