uicy seared tenderloin steaks would be delicious on their own, but here they’re topped with herb-marinated shrimp for a special savory dinner.
It’s a perfect way to impress your sweetheart with your cooking skills, or just to make for any occasion that calls for something fancy.
As well as being a delicious combo, steak and shrimp also make a pairing with impressive nutritional benefits: grass-fed red meat and seafood are two of the most nutrient-dense foods around!
Of course, you’ll also want some kind of vegetables to go with that, but a classy side salad should do the trick there with barely any extra work (whoever said delicious food had to be complicated?)
If you’re looking for something special to cook on the autoimmune protocol, you’ll also be in luck with this one: all the seasoning comes from herbs, so it’s completely AIP-friendly.
What better to celebrate than something that helps you heal at the same time? If you’re not on the AIP, just sit back and enjoy the flavor, maybe with a glass of wine if you choose to drink it.
