Imagine sinking your teeth into tender filet mignon, complemented by a rich, buttery lobster cream sauce that dances with flavors from fresh shrimp.

Plus, it’s straightforward enough for those of you who may not consider yourselves gourmet chefs (just like me before I started my culinary journey with my sister, Patricia!).

## Ingredients You'll Need

### For the Steak and Sauce:
- **2 filet mignons** (6-8 oz each)
- **1 tbsp** olive oil
- **Salt and black pepper**, to taste
- **2 oz** butter (because, let’s be honest, butter makes everything better)
- **1 cup** heavy cream (dreamy, right?)
- **1/2 cup** lobster stock (or a high-quality seafood stock)
- **1/2 cup** cooked lobster meat, chopped
- **1/2 cup** shrimp, peeled and deveined
- **1 clove** garlic, minced
- **1 tsp** lemon juice
- **Chopped parsley**, for garnish

## Cooking Steps

1. **Sear the Steak:**
   - Start by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the filet mignons generously with salt and black pepper. Once the oil is hot, add the steaks to the skillet. Sear each side for about **4-5 minutes** for medium-rare or until they reach your desired doneness. The goal is a nice, crusty outside with a juicy inside—think unicorn magic on your plate!
   
2. **Rest the Steaks:**
   - Once cooked, transfer the steaks to a plate and cover them loosely with foil to rest while you whip up that luscious sauce. Trust me; resting ensures that your steaks stay juicy.

3. **Make the Lobster Cream Sauce:**
   - In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter and minced garlic, cooking until fragrant—about **30 seconds**. Then, pour in the heavy cream and lobster stock, stirring gently to combine. This is the part where your kitchen will start smelling like the ocean kissed by a warm breeze.

4. **Add Lobster and Shrimp:**
   - Stir in the chopped lobster meat and shrimp. Cook for an additional **5-6 minutes** or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Add a splash of lemon juice at the end to brighten the flavors (and keep your palate dancing).
   
5. **Plate and Serve:**
   - Slice your filet mignon, arrange it beautifully on a plate, and drizzle that luxurious lobster cream sauce over the top. Don’t be shy—garnish it with chopped parsley for that pop of color. Bon appétit!

## Cooking Tips

- **Don’t skimp on resting the meat**: Allowing the steaks to rest for 5-10 minutes makes a world of difference in texture.
- **Use high-quality ingredients**: Fresh lobster and shrimp will really bring this dish to life. If you can't find lobster stock, chicken broth is an acceptable substitute, though it won’t be quite as indulgent.
- **Worried about lumps in the sauce?** Don’t worry if your sauce looks a little lumpy—it’s all part of the magic! Just give it a good whisk, and you’re good to go.

## A Personal Taste of Inspiration

I remember the first time Patricia and I made this dish for our family. My kids were skeptically eyeing the lobster sauce, and we held our breath as they took their first bites. To our surprise, they loved it! Now, it’s become a family staple for celebrations. I mean, who wouldn't feel fancy with filet mignon and lobster? Trust me; it’s a hit.

## FAQs

**Can I substitute filet mignon with another cut of beef?**  
Absolutely! While filet mignon is buttery and tender, you could use sirloin or ribeye if you prefer. Just adjust the cooking time accordingly.

**How can I store leftovers?**  
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently to avoid overcooking the steak.

**Is this recipe suitable for a date night?**  
Yes, and yes! This dish is not only impressive but also incredibly delicious, perfect for setting a romantic mood.
