Season New York strip steaks on both sides with kosher salt and cracked black pepper.

Pick up any excess salt and pepper from the sheet tray to season the edges of the steaks.

Preheat the grill until super hot for a good sear.

Place the seasoned steaks on the hot grill to develop grill marks; wait about a minute before rotating for diamond marks.

After another minute, flip the steaks and rotate again to create diamond marks on the other side.

Cook the steaks to medium or until they reach an internal temperature of 115 degrees, knowing they will continue to cook while resting to about 125 degrees.

While the steaks rest, coat peeled, deveined shrimp with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Lay the shrimp on the hot grill for a quick sear to develop flavor.

Chop fresh parsley, mince 2 to 3 cloves of garlic, and zest a lemon in preparation for the sauce.

In a preheated cast iron pan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter.

Add minced garlic to the melted butter and stir, letting it sizzle without browning.

Add the grilled shrimp to the pan with the garlic butter.

Stir in the chopped parsley and lemon zest into the pan.

Add a couple more tablespoons of butter and fresh lemon juice to the mixture, emulsifying it for a smooth sauce.

Serve the steaks and place the shrimp on top, pouring the garlic lemon butter sauce over the dish.
