4 Filet Mignon Steaks (6-8 oz each)
Salt and Black Pepper (to taste)
2 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Unsalted Butter
1/2 cup Shallots (finely chopped)
1 cup Heavy Cream
1/2 cup Lobster Meat (chopped)
1/2 cup Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
1/4 cup White Wine
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Black Pepper (to taste)
Fresh Parsley (for garnish)
Season the filet mignon steaks with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook steaks for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust time for desired doneness. Remove steaks from skillet and let rest.
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add shallots and cook until softened, about 2 minutes.
Pour in white wine and lemon juice. Cook for 1-2 minutes until reduced slightly.
Stir in heavy cream, garlic powder, and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
Add lobster meat and shrimp to the sauce. Cook until shrimp are pink and lobster is heated through, about 3-4 minutes.
Spoon the shrimp and lobster cream sauce over the rested filet mignon steaks. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Feel free to substitute the lobster and shrimp with other seafood like scallops or crab meat.
For a lighter version, use half-and-half or a lower-fat alternative to heavy cream.
Leftovers can be stored in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat to prevent curdling.
Make the sauce ahead of time, but reheat gently before serving.
