Surf and Turf for Two

prep time: 5 minutes cook time: 15 minutes yield: 2 servings

2 (3-ounce) filet mignons
Fine sea salt and ground black pepper
2 jumbo prawns or jumbo shrimp, shell-on, butterflied
and deveined
2 tablespoons keto fat of choice, for frying
¼ cup Easy Basil Hollandaise (here), for serving

1. Season the filets well on all sides with salt and
   pepper. Let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.


2. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
   Season the prawns well with salt and pepper.


3. Melt the fat in the hot pan, then add the filets and
   sear on both sides until cooked to your desired
   doneness (see chart below).


4. Remove the filets from the skillet and allow them
   to rest for 10 minutes. While the filets are resting, fry
   the prawns in the same skillet until the shells have
   turned pink and the meat is cooked through and no
   longer translucent, about 3 minutes per side.
