In cast iron skillet, melt 2 tbsp butter on high. Once butter is melted add steak so it sears – cook 2-3 min on one side.

Add 2 more tbsp butter and flip steak – cook 2-3 more min. Remove steak from pan and let it rest – remove pan from heat.

Lower heat to medium on burner.

In a separate small sauce pan, saute 3 tbsp butter and remaining garlic on medium heat. Stir and cook for 1 minute.

Add flour, milk, juice from lemon and cheese to saucepan and whisk frequently until the sauce begins to simmer. This sauce cooks very quickly – once simmering and thickened – remove saucepan from heat.

Add shrimp to hot skillet and saute. Saute shrimp 1-2 min until opaque.

Serve steak on plate and top with sautéed shrimp. Then pour parmesan sauce over top of steak & shrimp.
