Ingredients
Scale
- 4 filet mignon steaks (about 1 1/2 inches thick)
- 8–10 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup chopped lobster meat
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup white wine (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Filet Mignon: Season the steaks with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare or adjust the cooking time to your preference. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest.
- Cook the Shrimp and Lobster: In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and sauté the garlic until fragrant. Add the shrimp and lobster, cooking until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the shrimp and lobster from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the Cream Sauce: Deglaze the skillet with the white wine (if using) and add the heavy cream. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, about 5-6 minutes. Return the shrimp and lobster to the skillet, stirring gently to coat them in the sauce and heat through.
- Assemble the Dish: Place each filet mignon on a plate. Spoon the shrimp and lobster cream sauce over the steaks. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
- Serve: Enjoy this luxurious dish immediately with a side of mashed potatoes or steamed asparagus.
Notes
- Resting the Meat: Resting the filet mignon after cooking ensures that the meat retains its juices, resulting in a tender, flavorful steak.
- Sauce Consistency: If the sauce gets too thick, thin it out with a bit more white wine or chicken broth.
