Instructions

Preheat your grill or skillet to high heat.
Season the filet mignon steaks with salt and pepper on both sides.
Grill the steaks for 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or cook to your preferred doneness. Remove from heat and let rest.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the shrimp and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add butter and garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the lobster meat and cook for 2–3 minutes, or until heated through.
Stir in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Add Parmesan cheese and stir until the sauce thickens, about 3–5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Return the shrimp to the skillet and stir to coat in the sauce.
Serve each filet mignon topped with generous spoonfuls of the shrimp and lobster cream sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley.

Notes

Swap lobster with crab meat or scallops if preferred.

Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne for a spicy kick.

Try Gruyère or Pecorino instead of Parmesan for a twist.

Sear steaks in a hot cast iron skillet and finish in the oven if no grill is available.

Store leftover filet and sauce separately in airtight containers for up to 2 days.

Reheat sauce gently on the stovetop with a splash of cream or broth; avoid microwaving steak.
