Rachel's Steak and Shrimp w/ garlic butter sauce

Case and I developed this recipe today for our Christmas lunch! we bought the ingredients for our dinner but, got invited at the last minute to dinner, so it became lunch!

1 Ribeye steak
1 package frozen pre-cooked extra large shrimp
1 stick salted butter (you can probably use less)
3 cloves garlic
1 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp parsley
1/4 c. chopped onions
monterey steak seasoning.
crisco/butter/olive oil, your choice of oil

First, oil a pan with your choice of oil. Get it nice and hot so you can sear your steak to keep all those awesome juices in. Put your steak in the skillet. You should hear a nice sizzle when you put it in. Sprinkle the steak w/ Monterey Steak seaoning. Let it cook on one size until your desired temp (i.e. rare, med. rare, well done....etc.) Then flip it over and finish it off. When it's cooked how you like, take it out of the pan and put it on a plate to cool. Immediately after you take the steak out of the pan, add the entire package of frozen shrimp. I added 2 pats of butter, 2 cloves of pressed garlic, about a teaspoon of parsley and the chopped onion. I let it all saute in those awesome steak leftovers. It took less than 5 minutes to get the shrimp all hot. When they were finished, I took them out of the pan and put them on the plate w/ the steak. After that, i poured the lefty over juices into a bowl for dipping. For the garlic butter sauce I started with a stick of salted butter, then added a clove of pressed garlic and about a teaspoon of parsley. microwaved it for about 20 seconds so it was about half melted then i blended it all together. I mixed the two sauces together and it was AWESOME!!! We had a lobster with it too.
