Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 1 lb shrimps (peeled and deveined)
- 1 lb Angus steak in cubes
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 1 cup red and green bell peppers
Seasonings and Liquids:
- 2 teaspoons jerk seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon oil
- ⅛ teaspoon honey
- 1 package yellow rice
Instructions
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large pan at medium-high temperature. Cut 1 lb Angus steak into cubes and sear for 5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer cooked steak to a separate plate.
- Pat 1 lb peeled shrimp completely dry with paper towels. Sprinkle 2 tsp jerk seasoning and 1 tsp creole seasoning evenly across shrimp. Melt 1 tbsp butter in the same pan and cook shrimp for 1 minute per side. Remove shrimp immediately.
- Add 1 cup diced red and green bell peppers to the pan. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Ensure peppers remain slightly crisp.
- Return steak and shrimp to the pan. Pour 1 cup chicken broth and ⅛ tsp honey. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 3-4 minutes, allowing flavors to meld together.
- Season the entire mixture with 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper. Stir gently to distribute seasonings evenly.
- Plate the jerk steak and shrimp over prepared yellow rice. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro for added brightness.
Notes
- Pat shrimp completely dry before seasoning to ensure they sear beautifully and don’t steam in the pan.
- Choose a cast iron skillet for the best caramelization and deep flavor development on the steak and shrimp.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular soy sauce with tamari and double-check seasoning blends for hidden wheat ingredients.
- Adjust spice levels by using mild or hot jerk seasoning depending on your heat tolerance and family preferences.
