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

Method
 

Preparing the Linguine
  1. 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
  1. Heat a skillet over medium flame. Meld butter and olive oil together.
  2. Toss in garlic and red pepper flakes; sauté briefly—about a minute.
  3. 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.
  4. Pour in the white wine or chicken broth and lemon juice. Let the concoction bubble for a mere minute.
  5. Kill the heat. Stir in parsley. Reintroduce the linguine and shrimp, tossing to amalgamate flavors.
Searing the Steak to Perfection
  1. Crank up a large cast-iron pan over high heat. Meanwhile, season the steak with salt and pepper. Lightly brush with oil.
  2. 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.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine butter and minced garlic.
  4. Slather the garlic butter over the steak. Allow it to rest for about 5 minutes before slicing (remember to cut against the grain).
