SURF AND TURF FOR TWO

Steps:

• Whisk 1 tablespoon olive oil, butter, onion, wine, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, parsley, seafood seasoning, garlic, and black pepper together in a bowl; add shrimp. Toss to coat evenly. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for flavors to blend, at least 15 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Coat steaks with 2 teaspoons olive oil; sprinkle with steak seasoning.
• Cook steaks until they are beginning to firm and have reached your desired doneness, 5 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Transfer steaks to a platter and loosely tent with a piece of aluminum foil.
• Remove shrimp from marinade and grill until they are bright pink on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

SURF AND TURF SKEWERS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
• Cut the steak and lobster tail meat into 1-inch chunks. Alternating between steak and lobster, skewer the meat onto four 12-inch skewers (about 4 pieces of steak and 3 pieces of lobster on each skewer); set aside.
• To make the spice rub, mix together the salt, smoked paprika, sweet paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne, black pepper and thyme in a small bowl.
• Drizzle or brush the skewers with the olive oil. Lightly sprinkle the skewers with the spice rub.
• Grill the skewers, brushing them with the melted butter and turning about every minute, until the lobster is cooked through and the steak is rare, 4 to 5 minutes total. Allow to rest for 5 to 7 minutes before enjoying.

CAJUN SURF AND TURF PASTA

Steps:

• Cook the fettucine according to the package instructions, then drain and set aside.
• Sprinkle the steak and shrimp with 1 teaspoon each of the Cajun seasoning, along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
• Heat the butter and olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. When the butter has melted and the oil is hot, add the steak and shrimp and cook until the steak has browned on all sides and the shrimp are opaque and almost cooked through, about 3 minutes. Remove the steak and shrimp to a plate with a slotted spoon.
• Add the bell peppers and onion to the same skillet, then sprinkle over the remaining teaspoon Cajun seasoning. Cook until the veggies begin to blacken, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and garlic, then stir gently for an additional 30 seconds. Add the chicken stock and wine, stirring to release all the flavors from the bottom of the skillet. Allow to cook for a couple minutes, then reduce the heat slightly. Add the cream, Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce, then continue to cook until the sauce has started to thicken. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed.
• Add the steak and shrimp back to the skillet along with any juices left on the plate, then stir. Add the fettuccine and toss to combine.
• Garnish the skillet with the scallions and parsley, then serve and enjoy.

GRILLED SURF AND TURF KABOBS

• Spray grill rack with cooking spray. Heat gas or charcoal grill. On each skewer, thread 1 beef piece, 1 shrimp and another beef piece, leaving space between each piece; reserve marinade.
• Place kabobs on grill. Cover grill; cook over medium heat 5 to 6 minutes, turning once and brushing with marinade once or twice, until shrimp are pink. Discard any remaining marinade.

SURF AND TURF KABOBS

Steps:

• In a gallon bag, combine your steak pieces, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, soy sauce, minced onion, and minced garlic.
• Zip up bag and shake it, allowing all the flavors to combine. Let steak marinade for at least 2-3 hours, or overnight.
• In a separate resealable bag, add shrimp, melted butter and garlic salt. Zip up the bag, and shake it to allow all the flavors to combine. Let marinade for 2-3 hours, or just as long as you marinade the meat.
• Soak your skewers (if wooden) in water for 20 minutes.
• Thread your steak and shrimp onto skewers.
• Heat grill to medium heat.
• Grill your kabobs for 6 minutes, rotate them, then cook for another 6 minutes, or until desired doneness.

SURF AND TURF - GULF COAST STYLE

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
• Open fish basket, or similar wire cooking basket and line one side with strips of bacon, leaving a 1/2 inch space between slices. Cover the layer of bacon with a layer of onion rings. Place the fish fillets on top of the onion. Cover fish with more onion, then strips of bacon over the onion. Close the basket, and lightly sprinkle with soy sauce.
• Place the basket on the hot grill, and cook for 5 to 7 minutes per side, or until the bacon is just cooked through. Remove from grill, and open the basket. Place a similarly sized plate upside down onto the food, and flip the basket and plate over so that the food is on top of the plate. Lift off the basket, and serve.

SURF AND TURF KEBABS

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until melted and foamy. Add the shallots and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the sugar and peaches and cook, stirring, until the sugar is melted and the peaches are starting to soften, about 3 minutes.
• Stir in the peach preserves, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, red pepper flakes, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the peaches are completely softened and the mixture is thickened to the consistency of loose jam, 10 to 15 minutes depending on the juiciness of the peaches. Discard the thyme sprigs. If the peaches have not completely broken down, mash them with a potato masher to help them along. Keep warm over low heat.
• Meanwhile, heat a large grill pan over high heat.
• Thread one piece of corn onto a 15-inch metal skewer, followed by a piece of sirloin and then a piece of shrimp; repeat in that order until you have 4 of each item on the skewer. Repeat with the remaining corn, sirloin and shrimp on 3 additional 15-inch metal skewers. Brush the kebabs with olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt and black pepper.
• Cook the kebabs, turning a few times, until charred all over and the steak and shrimp are cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer the kebabs to a platter and brush generously with the peach sauce. Serve with rice, salad and extra peach sauce on the side.

• For the skewers: Skewer alternating pieces of shrimp and steak on each skewer until you have 4 pieces of each per skewer. Put the skewers on a baking sheet or in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Lightly season with salt and season generously with pepper. Brush the skewers with some of the remaining bourbon teriyaki sauce.
• Brush the grill grates with canola oil. Grill the orange wedges until grill-marked and slightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes per side; set aside. Grill the shrimp and steak skewers for about 2 minutes. Flip and brush with more of the remaining bourbon teriyaki sauce and grill another 2 minutes. Turn the heat to medium low and grill the skewers an additional 1 to 2 minutes per side, basting with more sauce.
• Transfer the skewers to a platter and garnish with the oranges, scallions and sesame seeds. Drizzle with the reserved bourbon teriyaki sauce.

SURF AND TURF: SCALLOPS AND FILET MIGNON IN MUSHROOM CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Combine the sugar, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle the mixture over all sides of the steaks and drizzle with oil.
• Place the steaks in the hot skillet and sear until GBD (golden, brown and delicious), 1 to 2 minutes. Flip the steaks with tongs. Add the garlic cloves, thyme and rosemary to the skillet. Place the pan in the oven and roast until the steaks reach the desired doneness, 6 to 10 minutes for medium-rare; an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of a steak should register 125 degrees F for medium-rare, 135 degrees F for medium and 145 degrees F for medium-well.
• Remove the skillet from the oven and add the butter. As the butter melts, baste it over the steaks and herbs. Cover the steaks loosely with foil and rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
• For the mushroom cream sauce: Heat a large skillet over high heat until hot, 1 to 2 minutes. Swirl in the butter until melted. Add the mushrooms and season with a healthy pinch of salt and pepper. Grate the garlic over the mushrooms with a rasp grater. Stir occasionally until the mushrooms release liquid, about 3 minutes. Stir in the wine and scrape the bottom of the skillet. Cook until the pan is almost bone dry, 2 to 3 minutes longer.
• Stir in the broth, cream and thyme. Lower the heat until the sauce simmers. Season with salt and pepper and simmer until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon, 5 to 10 minutes. Set aside.
• For the asparagus with lemon and garlic: Heat a large skillet over high heat until very hot, 1 to 2 minutes. Swirl in the oil. Add the asparagus and cook for 30 seconds. Grate the garlic and lemon zest over the asparagus with a rasp grater. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the edges of the asparagus start to brown but the spears are still crisp, about 3 minutes longer.
• Sprinkle the asparagus with a fat pinch of salt and pepper. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice of half over the asparagus. Stir and season with more salt and pepper if desired.
• For the seared sea scallops: Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot, 2 to 3 minutes. Place the flour on a plate. Use paper towels to dry the scallops well. Season them with salt and pepper, then lightly coat them on all sides with flour.
• Add the oil to the skillet and swirl to coat the entire pan. Carefully place the scallops in the hot skillet. Let them sear without disturbing them until browned on the bottom, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook until warm in the middle, about 1 minute longer. Transfer the scallops to a paper towel-lined plate until ready to serve.
• To serve, place a steak whole or sliced on each plate. Arrange the scallops and some of the asparagus on each plate. Smother the steak with the mushroom sauce and serve.
