Surf and Turf: No Name Steak Topped with Pizza Seasoned Grilled Shrimp with a Beer Butter Glaze

Click here to watch the June 14, 2013 Twin Cities Live segment when I made this recipe.

Ingredients:
4 No Name Petite Cut Steaks (4 ounce cuts)
1 lb Jumbo Shrimp
2 tsp Pizza Seasoning
½ cup Butter (salted)
½ cup Beer

Directions:
Cook steaks on outdoor grill until desired internal temperature is reached. For medium doneness cook until 160° F. If using a George Foreman Grill, cook on preheated grill sprayed with non-stick spray for 5 minutes.

While steaks are cooking, combine shrimp and pizza seasoning. Add to grill and cook until charred.

In a glass measuring cup, add butter and beer, heat in microwave about 45 seconds or until butter is melted.

Serve steaks with grilled shrimp and drizzle beer butter glaze on top.
