1. Prepare the Steak:
• Bring steaks to room temperature for 20–30 minutes.
• Season generously with salt and pepper.
• Heat olive oil or butter in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add steaks and sear 3–4 minutes per side (for medium-rare), basting with melted butter, garlic, and herbs.
• Let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
2. Cook the Garlic Shrimp:
• In the same pan, melt butter and add minced garlic.
• Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
• Add shrimp, season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes.
• Cook 1–2 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
• Finish with lemon juice and parsley.
3. Combine & Serve:
• Plate steak slices alongside the shrimp.
• Drizzle any pan sauce on top for extra flavor.
• Serve with mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, or garlic bread.

🍷 Perfect Pairing:
• Red wine (Cabernet Sauvignon or Malbec) for a bold kick
• Or a crisp white (Chardonnay) to complement the shrimp
