This recipe is moderately low-carb, but not necessarily by Keto extreme low-carb guidelines.

We have swapped out sirloin for Ribeye and grilled the shrimp instead of pan-frying.

This dish goes great served with this Mashed Potato Casserole for Two, these Creamy Au Gratin Potatoes, or these Cheesy Twice Baked Potatoes for Two.

How to make Shrimp Parmesan Steak

Step 1 – If you’re grilling the shrimp on wooden skewers soak the skewers in water first for about 20 minutes while the sauce cooks.  Click here for Bamboo skewers.

For the Parmesan Cheese Sauce

Step 2 – Heat cream in a saucepan and simmer on medium-low, for about 20 minutes, stirring often.

Step 3 - Stir in the Parmesan cheese, basil, salt and pepper.

Step 4 – Lower heat and keep warm while you prepare the steak and shrimp.

For the Steak

Step 5 - Season the steak to your preference. We like just salt and black pepper as the sauce has great flavor already.

Step 6 - Cook the steaks either on the stove in a frying pan or outside on the grill, until done to your liking. These ½-inch thick steaks took about 4 minutes per side on our gas grill. We like ours done to medium rare.

For the Shrimp

Step 7 - At the same time, add the shrimp to the pre-soaked skewers. I buy shrimp that is already peeled and deveined, and sometimes with the tails already removed.

Step 8 - Melt the butter in the microwave for approximately 20 – 30 seconds and brush it onto the shrimp.

Step 9 - Sprinkle with Old Bay seasoning.

Step 10 - Grill the shrimp over medium high heat, or pan fry, until pink and opaque flipping over halfway through, about 2 minutes on each side.

Step 11 - Place the juicy steaks on plates, top with the grilled shrimp, and then the creamy Parmesan sauce.

Pro Tips

I buy shrimp that is already peeled and deveined, and sometimes with the tails already removed.

The cheese sauce is delicious and very versatile, try it over chicken, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables!
