The Best Surf & Turf Dinner!

Preparation:

a. Generously season both the steak and the shrimp with your preferred seasoning.

b. Using the ThermoPro TwinTemp Spike, insert one spike into the thickest part of the steak, ensuring it doesn’t touch the bone or fat. Skewer the shrimp with the second spike.

Smoking:

a. Preheat your smoker to 200°F.

b. Once heated, place the seasoned steak and shrimp inside.

c. Monitor the internal temperatures using the ThermoPro Twin Temp Spike. Smoke until both the steak and shrimp reach your desired internal temperature. (For medium-rare steak, aim for around 120°F; for shrimp, aim for 130°F).

Resting:

a. Once you reach your desired temperature, remove the steak and shrimp from the smoker.

b. Allow the steak to rest, ensuring juices are reabsorbed and the meat relaxes.

Searing:

a. Heat up a cast iron pan until it’s smoking hot.

b. Place the steak on the pan, searing for a couple of minutes on each side until you achieve a beautiful, flavorful crust. Do the same for the shrimp, but they will require a shorter searing time – just until they have a light golden color.

c. Once seared, remove the steak and let it rest again to maintain its juiciness.

Garlic Butter Recipe:

🍳 Melt 1-2 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.

🧄 Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30-60 seconds, stirring constantly. (Be careful not to let the garlic burn! Reduce the heat if necessary.)

🧈 Add the remaining butter (from the ½ cup) and stir until fully melted.

🍋 Pour in the lemon juice, cooking for another 30 seconds while stirring constantly.

🌿 Remove from heat and fold in the fresh parsley.
