Notes

For a lighter version, try substituting half-and-half for heavy cream. Enhance flavor with a splash of white wine added to the garlic sauce before the cream. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat gently. Consider using sirloin or filet mignon for alternative steak options, or try scallops or lobster instead of shrimp for a luxurious touch. Don't forget to let the steak and shrimp rest for a few minutes after cooking for improved flavor and tenderness.
