  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup lobster stock
  • ½ cup white wine
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Start by seasoning the filet mignon steaks with salt and pepper on both sides. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from heat, cover with foil, and let rest while you prepare the sauce.
  • In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
  • Next, add the lobster stock and heavy cream to the pan. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens. If desired, add paprika for color and a hint of flavor.
  • Add the shrimp to the sauce and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
  • To serve, place a filet mignon on each plate, spoon the shrimp and lobster cream sauce over the top, and garnish with fresh parsley.
