Looking for a restaurant-quality dinner that won’t keep you slaving away in the kitchen all evening? Girl, I’ve got you covered! Today, I’m sharing my absolute favorite Garlic Butter Herb Steak and Shrimp recipe that’ll have your family thinking you secretly enrolled in culinary school. Trust me, this one’s a keeper!
Let’s be real – who doesn’t love a good surf and turf? And this recipe is literally foolproof (I promise, even if you’ve burned water before, you can handle this!).
What you’ll need:
– 2 ribeye steaks (about 1-inch thick)
– 12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
– 6 tablespoons butter
– 4 garlic cloves, minced
– 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
– 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
Okay, queens and kings, let’s get cooking!
First things first, pat those steaks dry with paper towels (this is crucial for that gorgeous crust we’re going for!) and season generously with salt and pepper. Let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes – patience is a virtue, darling!
While you’re waiting, mix 4 tablespoons of butter with minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme in a small bowl. Set this heavenly mixture aside – we’ll be using it later to make magic happen!

Now, heat that olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it’s smoking hot. Place your steaks in the pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Remove them to a plate and let them rest – they’ve worked hard!
In the same pan (hello, flavor town!), add your shrimp and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and curl up into cute little C’s. Remove them from the pan.
Final step, honey! Return everything to the pan, add that gorgeous herb butter mixture we made earlier, and let it melt all over your steak and shrimp. Spoon that butter sauce over everything for about a minute.
Serve this beauty with some roasted potatoes or asparagus, and watch your family’s jaws drop!
This recipe serves 2-3 people, depending on how hungry everyone is (no judgment here – I’ve definitely eaten a whole steak by myself on occasion! 😉).
Y’all, I can’t even tell you how many times this recipe has saved my dinner parties! It’s quick, impressive, and absolutely delicious. Plus, it pairs perfectly with a glass of red wine (or two, but who’s counting?).
