# What You'll Need:

→ Steak

01 - 2 beef tenderloin filets, 170 g each
02 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
03 - Coarse sea salt, to taste
04 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
05 - 1 sprig fresh rosemary
06 - 2 teaspoons olive oil

→ Shrimp

07 - 12 medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
08 - 1 teaspoon olive oil
09 - 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
10 - 1 teaspoon fine salt
11 - 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
12 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
13 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

→ Soy Butter Cream Sauce

14 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
15 - 2 tablespoons soy sauce
16 - 60 ml heavy cream
17 - 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes, adjusted to taste

→ For Garnish

18 - Fresh chopped parsley

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Pat tenderloin filets dry and season both sides evenly with sea salt and black pepper. Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Add filets and rosemary sprig, searing for 4 to 5 minutes per side until your desired doneness is achieved.
02 - Remove steaks from the skillet and let them rest, loosely covered, for 5 minutes to preserve their juices.
03 - In a separate frying pan, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced garlic, sautéing for 30 seconds until aromatic. Add shrimp, season with fine salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes or until shrimp turn opaque and pink.
04 - Transfer cooked shrimp to a clean plate. In the same pan used for shrimp, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add soy sauce and heavy cream, whisking continuously. Simmer for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Adjust seasoning with red pepper flakes to preferred heat level.
05 - Return shrimp to the sauce, gently tossing to evenly coat in the mixture.
06 - Arrange filet mignon steaks on warmed plates. Spoon shrimp and soy butter cream sauce generously over each steak. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - Allow steaks to rest after searing to retain optimal juiciness.
02 - Adjust the quantity of red pepper flakes to manage the desired level of spiciness in the sauce.
03 - Use high-quality tenderloin and fresh shrimp for the best flavor.
04 - If the sauce is too thick, stir in a small amount of cream to achieve silky consistency.
05 - Accompany with greens or rice to absorb the rich soy butter cream.
