🥩 Creamy Mozzarella Steak and Shrimp 🍤

A delectable delight that brings the steakhouse experience to your home kitchen—perfect for impressing guests or treating yourself on a busy weeknight.

🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 ribeye steaks or your preferred cut
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning or dried basil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳
1. Prepare the Steaks: Remove steaks from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to reach room temperature. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook steaks for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from skillet and let rest.
2. Cook the Shrimp: In the same skillet, add shrimp and season with salt and pepper. Cook until shrimp are pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
3. Make the Creamy Mozzarella Sauce: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and let thicken for a few minutes. Stir in mozzarella and Parmesan until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth. Add Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste.
4. Combine and Serve: Slice the rested steaks and arrange on plates. Top with cooked shrimp and drizzle with creamy mozzarella sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
