Applebees Steak and Shrimp Parmesan

This Applebees Steak and Shrimp Parmesan is amazing! Tender, juicy grilled Ribeye steak is topped with seasoned grilled shrimp and a savory Parmesan cheese and basil sauce. This is a copy cat recipe.

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.

For the Parmesan Cheese Sauce:

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

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

Step 4 – Lower the 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 1/2 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 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 half way through, about 2 minutes on each side. Click here for Old Bay Seasoning.

Step 11 – Place the grilled steak on a plate, top with the grilled shrimp and then the Parmesan sauce.
