Surf N Turf can be created in a variety of ways, for example; Ribeye and lobster, NY Strip and lobster, Ribeye and shrimp or even Filet and scallops. All the combos are delicious and for this Surf N Turf combo I went with ribeye and shrimp.

The shrimp was cooked in an amazing honey and garlic sauce that had my wife speechless!

For this cook, it is quite simple. The process was doing a reverse sear on my ribeye steak and while my steak was resting for 6-8 minutes I cooked up my shrimp.

The shrimp took a total of 3ish mins and was nice and warm still for the time of slicing up my ribeye. Okay, let’s jump into the recipe!
