Buttery shrimp and steak. Simple ingredient recipe that takes no time to make.

This Buttered T-Bone Steak and Shrimp is a spinoff of a traditional Christmas dinner. My dad would grill the steak and my mom would broil the shrimp. We would dip our shrimp in melted butter. In this dish, I took the two meats, and put them in the same pan. Their delicious juices infuse into the butter, creating a velvety luscious sauce. Savory and scrumptious.
Simple recipe - Buttered T-Bone Steak and Shrimp

Equipment
Cast iron pan or saucepan
Thermometer
Tips or Tricks
Always let steak rest prior to cutting. As the steak is heated up, the proteins in the steak coil/tighten and squeeze juices out. The steak needs to rest, allowing time for the proteins to uncoil/loosen to reabsorb the juices.
Cut steak against the grain
If uncertain on cooking times, cook by temp using a meat thermometer (temps listed below in notes)
Cook high heat to sear a steak, then lower the temp to finish cooking the steak
Season steak with salt and pepper, with your hand roughly 8” above the steak for an evenly season steak

Prep Time - 5 minutes
Cook time - 8 - 10 minutes

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter and add steak. Sear for 30 seconds, turn the heat down and cook roughly 3-4 minutes (depends on your preference of doneness)
Flip the steak, turn on high heat again to sear for 30 seconds, turn the heat down and cook roughly 3-4 minutes (depends on your preference of doneness)
