A luxurious and indulgent dish featuring tender filet mignon topped with a rich shrimp and lobster cream sauce. Perfect for special occasions or a gourmet dinner at home.

Ingredients

4 (6-ounce) filet mignon steaks

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/2 cup finely chopped shallots

2 garlic cloves, minced

4 ounces shrimp, peeled and deveined

4 ounces lobster meat, chopped

1/2 cup dry white wine

1 cup heavy cream

1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Season the steaks with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steaks and cook to desired doneness, approximately 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer steaks to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
  3. In the same skillet, add shallots and garlic, sauté until softened, about 2 minutes.
  4. Add shrimp and lobster, cook until just opaque, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Deglaze the pan with white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  6. Stir in heavy cream and thyme, simmer until sauce has slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
  7. Remove from heat, stir in butter until melted and incorporated.
  8. Spoon shrimp and lobster cream sauce over filet mignon and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a lighter option, you can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or a mixture of milk and Greek yogurt.
  • Use chicken or vegetable broth as a wine substitute.
  • For a dairy-free version, swap the heavy cream with coconut cream or a dairy-free cream alternative, and use dairy-free butter or plant-based oil for cooking.
  • If using frozen shrimp and lobster, thaw them completely and pat dry before cooking to avoid excess water in the sauce.
