Instructions:

1️⃣ Prepare the Garlic Mashed Potatoes:
Boil potatoes in salted water for 15-20 minutes until tender. Drain and return to the pot.
Add butter, heavy cream, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy. Cover to keep warm.
2️⃣ Cook the Steak:
Season the steaks with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear steaks for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust to your preference). Add butter and smashed garlic, and baste the steaks for extra flavor. Remove from skillet, let rest for 5 minutes.
3️⃣ Grill the Shrimp:
Toss shrimp with olive oil, paprika, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
Cook shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and slightly charred. Remove and set aside.
4️⃣ Steam the Vegetables:
Steam broccoli florets until tender but still vibrant green. Boil corn until tender, then brush with butter and season with salt and pepper.
5️⃣ Make the Creamy Sauce:
In the same skillet used for the steak, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour and whisk for 1 minute. Slowly pour in stock and heavy cream, whisking until smooth. Simmer until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
6️⃣ Assemble and Serve:
Plate the garlic mashed potatoes, top with the steak and grilled shrimp. Add broccoli and corn on the side. Drizzle the creamy sauce over the steak and potatoes. Garnish with parsley and serve!
