Instructions:

1. Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
2. Season the steaks on both sides with salt and pepper. Set aside and let them come to room temperature.
3. In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Brush the grill or grill pan with a bit of oil to prevent sticking. Place the steaks on the hot grill and cook to your desired level of doneness, usually about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on the thickness of the steak. Once cooked, transfer the steaks to a plate and let them rest for a few minutes.
5. While the steaks are resting, in a separate skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque. Stir in the garlic butter sauce that you prepared earlier and toss the shrimp to coat them well.
6. To serve, place a steak on each plate and arrange the cooked shrimp alongside. Drizzle any remaining garlic butter sauce over the steak and shrimp. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with fresh lemon wedges.
