And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Worked on a boat yesterday & on top of a very generous tip also got 30lb wahoo. Looks like wahoo & royal red shrimp on the grill tonight. Can't afford beef.
🌟 Steak in Creamy Cajun Shrimp Sauce (Surf and Turf) 🌟
Ingredients:
For the Steak:
2 ribeye or sirloin steaks (about 1 inch thick) Salt and pepper to taste 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 2 cloves garlic, minced For the Cajun Shrimp Sauce:
1/2 lb (225g) shrimp, peeled and deveined 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika 3 cloves garlic, minced 1/2 cup chicken broth 1 cup heavy cream 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese Salt and pepper to taste Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish) Method:
1️⃣ Cook the Steaks: Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides. In a large skillet or cast-iron pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the time according to your desired doneness. In the last minute of cooking, add the butter and minced garlic to the skillet, basting the steaks with the melted butter. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest while you prepare the shrimp sauce.
2️⃣ Sauté the Shrimp: In the same skillet, add the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp and season with Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
3️⃣ Make the Creamy Cajun Sauce: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Add the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, cooking until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, tossing them in the sauce until well coated.
4️⃣ Serve: Place the cooked steaks on plates and generously spoon the creamy Cajun shrimp sauce over the top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
Oh my, it's all I can do to keep from licking my computer monitor! Scrumptious!
ReplyDeleteYes it does look good!
ReplyDeleteOther than the barf on it yeah it looks great…
DeleteDang! Off to get some scrimps for the weekend...
ReplyDeleteNot sure about that sauce, because that beef only needs salt, pepper and a touch of garlic.
ReplyDeleteI'll take the beef; you can have the seafood.

ReplyDeleteDump a load of ketchup on that baby, and dig in !
ReplyDeleteScrape off the cockroaches of the sea and enjoy the beef.
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely picture, but I do prefer any sauces to be in a small ramekin off to the side so I can dip a bite - or, not.
