Season the Steak and Shrimp:
In a large bowl, season the steak bites with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. In a separate bowl, season the shrimp with a little salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
Cook the Steak Bites:
Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak bites in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove the steak bites from the skillet and set aside.
Cook the Shrimp:
In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp of olive oil and 1 tbsp of butter. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside with the steak bites.
Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:
Reduce the heat to medium. In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tbsp of butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in a splash of lemon juice and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Combine and Serve:
Return the steak bites and shrimp to the skillet, tossing them in the garlic butter sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.
Helpful Tips:
Don’t Overcook the Shrimp: Cook the shrimp just until they turn pink to keep them tender.
Add a Kick: For some heat, sprinkle in red pepper flakes or drizzle with hot sauce.
