Begin with a ribeye steak, about half a pound.

Season the steak with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, patting the seasoning in.

Prepare shrimp by peeling and deveining, removing the tails, and season with Slap Your Mama Cajun seasoning.

Set the seasoned shrimp aside.

Heat a cast iron pan over high heat and drizzle in olive oil.

Add the ribeye steak to the hot pan, pressing down gently for an even sear.

Cook the steak until it develops a beautiful color on one side, then flip it.

Lower the heat slightly, add salted butter and plenty of fresh rosemary to the pan, and baste the steak with the melted butter and rosemary.

Finish cooking the steak in a 400-degree oven on a wire rack until desired doneness is reached, ensuring the steak is at room temperature before cooking.

In a separate pan, heat oil and add the shrimp, cooking on one side before flipping.

Add unsalted butter to the shrimp and mix everything together, cooking for another minute or two.

Toss in freshly chopped parsley for added flavor and color.

Remove the steak from the oven and let it rest with rosemary and garlic on top before plating.

Plate the steak and shrimp together, noting the delicious crust on the steak and the juicy shrimp.
