If you’re planning a small, elegant dinner party in your back yard this summer I have the perfect recipe for you. Serve your guests this lovely meal with shrimp skewers, beef tenderloin, and a garlic cream sauce from Stockman and Dakota.
We head for the Outer Banks every summer to hang out on the beach. While we’re there we always visit the local seafood shops several time to pick up some shrimp for dinner. I think I’ll take this recipe along.
Surf ‘n Turf
with Garlic Cream Sauce
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Amount: 4 servings
Ingredients:
½ cup butter
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons minced shallots
⅛ teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
½ cup white wine
¼ cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon chopped chives
12 (8-12 count) raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
4 bamboo skewers, soaked in water 30 minutes
4 (4 ounce) Stockman & Dakota™ Beef Tenderloin Filets
Directions:
1. In medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add in garlic and Old Bay seasoning. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Sauté 1 minute.
2. Add in wine; bring to a simmer. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half. Add in cream and chives; continue simmering until sauce has thickened slightly (about 1 minute). Set aside and keep warm.
3. Meanwhile, prepare grill to medium heat. Place 3 shrimp on each skewer. Sprinkle shrimp and beef with pepper, if desired. Place beef on grill; grill 11-15 minutes, turning once.
4. Place shrimp on grill a couple of minutes after the beef; grill, turning occasionally 8-10 minutes or until cooked through and opaque in color. About halfway through grilling, start brushing shrimp occasionally with a small amount of the garlic cream sauce.
5. Serve shrimp and beef with remaining garlic cream sauce.
