• .25 teaspoon sea salt

Shrimp

Instructions

Garlic-Herb Butter

• Mix the butter, garlic, lemon zest and juice, and the chopped parsley together in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Steaks

• Heat the grill over high heat and brush the grates with olive oil. Brush steaks lightly with oil and sprinkle all sides generously with garlic-pepper seasoning.

• Place steaks on the hot grill. Cook for 5 minutes, flip over and cook for an additional 5 minutes for medium-rare (thermometer should read 125 to 130 degrees). Transfer steaks to a plate, cover with foil, and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. They will continue to cook while they rest and will get your to the perfect temperature of 130 to 135.

Shrimp

• Slide the shrimp onto the skewers. Brush with olive oil, flip over to coat both sides and sprinkle with garlic pepper seasoning.

• Reduce heat to medium and grill the shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes, flip and continue cooking for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until they turn pink. Amount of time needed to cook will depend on the size of your shrimp.

• Place shrimp in a large bowl and toss with 3 tablespoons of garlic-lemon butter.

• Serve topped with a tablespoon of compound butter and grilled squash slices (olive oil, salt and pepper), Classic Rice Pilaf, Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes, Instant Pot Sweet Potatoes, or Greek Tomato Cucumber Salad.
