  • Once the grill is hot, place the seasoned shrimp and steak onto the grill grates.

  • Cook the steak to your desired level of doneness, flipping once halfway through the cooking time. Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the steak and your preferred level of doneness.

Step 6: Serve
