Follow The Directions

01

Step

Gather all ingredients and prepare your mise en place. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon olive oil, melted butter, minced shallot, white wine, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, dried parsley, seafood seasoning, minced garlic, and black pepper to create the shrimp marinade. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade. Toss gently to ensure the shrimp are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes, to allow the flavors to meld. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat (approximately 400°F or 200°C) and lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking. (10 minutes)

05

Step

While the grill is preheating, prepare the filet mignon steaks. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels, then coat them with 2 teaspoons of olive oil and sprinkle generously with steak seasoning on both sides. (3 minutes)

06

Step

Place the seasoned steaks on the preheated grill and cook for 5 to 7 minutes per side for medium doneness, adjusting cooking time based on the thickness of the steaks and your desired level of doneness. Use an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the steak to ensure it reaches 140°F (60°C) for medium. (14 minutes)

07

Step

Once the steaks are cooked to your liking, transfer them to a platter and loosely tent with a piece of aluminum foil. Allow the steaks to rest for at least 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak. (5 minutes)

08

Step

Remove the marinated shrimp from the refrigerator. Thread the shrimp onto skewers, if desired, for easier grilling. (2 minutes)

09

Step

Grill the shrimp over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until they turn bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque and cooked through. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as they can become rubbery. (6 minutes)

10

Step

Serve the grilled shrimp and rested filet mignon steaks together. Garnish with fresh parsley or lemon wedges, if desired. Enjoy immediately! (2 minutes)

For best results, use high-quality filet mignon steaks and fresh, plump shrimp.
Do not over-marinate the shrimp, as the acid in the lemon juice can start to break down the proteins and make them mushy.
Resting the steaks after grilling is crucial for a tender and juicy result. Don't skip this step!
If you don't have an outdoor grill, you can pan-sear the steaks in a hot cast-iron skillet and grill the shrimp on a grill pan or under the broiler.
Consider serving with your favorite sides, such as roasted asparagus, garlic mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad.
