This Applebees 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 30 minutes!

Equipment

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
  • 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.

Notes

  • 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!
