Applebee’s Steak and Shrimp Parmesan

This Applebee’s Steak and Shrimp Parmesan is amazing! Tender, juicy grilled Ribeye steak is topped with seasoned grilled shrimp and savory Parmesan cheese and basil sauce. This is a copycat recipe except we swapped out sirloin steak for Ribeye and grilled the shrimp instead of pan-frying. Ready in just 30 minutes!

Why I love this recipe

The Parmesan cream sauce is delicious and very versatile! Try pouring it over your chicken, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.

This low-carb dish is the ultimate surf and turf meal for two, ready in just 30 minutes.

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

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.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoon dried basil (or 1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 2 Ribeye steaks (8 ounce each)
  • ½ pound shrimp, or prawns (peeled, deveined, and tails removed)
  • 1 Tablespoon butter
  • Old Bay Seasoning (to taste)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

  • If you're grilling the shrimp on wooden skewers soak the skewers in water first for about 20 minutes while the sauce cooks.
  • Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan and simmer on medium-low, for about 20 minutes, stirring often.
  • Stir in Parmesan cheese, basil, salt and pepper. Lower the heat and keep warm while you prepare the steak and shrimp.
  • Season the steak to your preference. Cook either on the stove or outside grill, until done to your liking. For our 1/2 inch thick steaks, we cook them on a gas grill for 4 minutes per side for medium rare.
  • At the same time, add the shrimp to the skewers. Melt the butter in the microwave for approximately 20 – 30 seconds and brush it onto the shrimp. Sprinkle with Old Bay seasoning.
  • Grill the shrimp over medium-high heat, or pan fry, until pink and opaque flipping over halfway through, about 2 minutes per side.
  • Place the grilled steak on a plate, top with the grilled shrimp, and then the Parmesan sauce.
