Best 4 Turf Mix Recipes

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.

CAJUN SURF AND TURF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.
• For the seasoning: Combine the garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, salt and cayenne.
• For the surf and turf: Rub 1 tablespoon of the butter over the tenderloin then sprinkle lightly with the Cajun seasoning. Place in the oven for approximately 25 to 30 minutes.
• After about 25 minutes check the tenderloin; you want a temperature of 120 to 125 degrees F on a meat thermometer for medium rare to rare. Remove the tenderloin from the oven and rest it for 10 to 15 minutes.
• In another skillet, add 3 tablespoons of the butter and heat to melt. Throw in the onions, green peppers and red peppers, then cook until golden brown and colored, but still somewhat crisp, a couple of minutes. Add the garlic and cook around for 30 to 45 seconds. Remove the veggies to a plate.
• Heat the same skillet over high heat, and then pour in the wine and chicken broth. Cook on high for 3 to 5 minutes, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Reduce the heat to medium-low heat and pour in the cream, stirring or whisking constantly. Cook the sauce until the cream starts to thicken the mixture, a few minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
• Add the cooked vegetables to the sauce, making sure to include all the juices that have drained onto the plate. Stir and cook until the mixture is bubbly and hot, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Next add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter to a skillet and melt the butter over high heat. Throw the shrimp into the skillet and sprinkle them lightly with some of the remaining Cajun seasoning. Cook the shrimp until opaque and deep golden brown with some dark brown parts. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
• Serve the veggies and shrimp in their skillets and the tenderloin on a platter.

TURF MIX

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F. Toss rice cereal, wasabi peas, rice chips, snap pea crisps, and coconut chips in a large bowl. Drizzle butter over and toss gently to coat. Transfer to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet and bake until lightly golden brown and warmed through, 8-10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, wipe out bowl and set aside. Pulse SeaSnax, garlic powder, lime zest, cayenne, salt, sugar, and 1/4 cup dill in a spice grinder or mini food processor, shaking or scraping down sides as needed, until finely ground.
• As soon as snack mix comes out of the oven, transfer in 3 batches to reserved bowl, sprinkling each batch after adding to bowl with about one-third of dill-seaweed mixture. Gently toss with your hands (it should still be warm at this point, but cool enough to touch) until thoroughly coated. Let cool completely. Top with more dill to serve.
• Do Ahead: Turf mix can be made 5 days ahead. Let cool, then store in an airtight container at room temperature.
