For Smoky Paprika Butter:
4 tablespoons of butter
1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
1 tablespoon of shallots, diced
2 teaspoon of chopped garlic
2 teaspoon of chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes
1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon of cracked pepper
For Corn Relish:
1 cup of corn, grilled and cut off the cob (can substitute canned corn, if preferred)
1 tablespoon of capers, diced
1/4 cup of red wine vinegar
For Steaks and Shrimp:
4 (6-oz.) filet mignon steaks
16 peeled shrimp
3 tablespoons of kosher salt
1 tablespoon of cracked black pepper
1 tablespoon of granulated onion powder
1 tablespoon of granulated garlic powder

- Steaks and Shrimp: Clean and oil your grill grates, heat to 550° F. Season filets and shrimp with salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder. Place seasoned steaks and shrimp on grill. Shrimp should cook for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, or until completely cooked through. Grill steak to your desired degree of doneness (see table below). Remove steaks and shrimp from grill when ready. Plate shrimp on top of each steak. Finish with smoky paprika butter and corn relish. Enjoy!
