Step by step

1. 1

   Season the filet mignon with salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning.

2. 2

   Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steaks for 3– 4 minutes per side (or until desired doneness). Add butter and garlic during the last minute, basting the steaks. Remove and let rest.

3. 3

   In the same pan, cook the shrimp for 1– 2 minutes per side until pink. Remove.

4. 4

   For the sauce, melt butter, sauté garlic for 30 seconds, then stir in heavy cream. Simmer for 2– 3 minutes.

5. 5

   Add Parmesan cheese and Dijon mustard. Stir until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.

6. 6

   Place the filet on a serving plate, spoon the creamy sauce over the steak, top with the shrimp, and garnish with parsley and rosemary.
