Steak and shrimp is a popular entrée in most steak restaurants. I splurged the other day and we had steak on the grill smothered in garlic shrimp sauce.
You want to sear the steaks for 2 minutes on each side, then grill for about 20 minutes on low depending on the thickness. Searing them seals in the juices and helps keep them from drying out. While the steaks are grilling sauté the shrimp in olive oil. Then add the garlic, spices, and broth and cook for another few minutes.
Place steaks on platter, spoon garlic shrimp sauce over them and serve with a baked potato and salad.
