For the Shrimp & Lobster Cream Sauce:
- 2 medium lobster tails (shell removed, cut into 1 inch pieces)
- 1 lb. large shrimp (peeled, deveined, tail off)
- All-purpose seasoning (salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder)

- 1 1/2 tsp. smoked paprika
- Steak: On a cutting board or mat, season steak on each side with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the steaks to the skillet and press down. After cooking for 2 minutes, add butter, garlic cloves, and thyme sprigs. After an additional 3 minutes, flip the steaks and cook for 4 more minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium, and spoon butter over the steak until it reaches 5 degrees less than desired temperature on an instant-read thermometer. Let steak rest for at least 10 minutes before serving.
- Shrimp & Lobster Cream Sauce: In a bowl, season shrimp with all-purpose seasoning. Heat olive oil and a tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sear shrimp for 2 minutes on one side, then flip and sear for 1 minute. Remove and set aside. Sauté lobster in the skillet until pink, then set aside. Add butter to the skillet, melt, and add white wine and clam juice. Whisk in heavy cream, season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in shrimp and lobster and let simmer for 1-2 minutes. Serve over cooked steak.
