Garlic Butter Surf & Turf
Surf & Turf
Surf & Turf with Garlic Butter could be one of my favorite combinations. I never thought that creamy blackened A1 Sauce would take it to the next level. This entire recipe was delicious and easy to make, not to mention inexpensive. That’s great news because every day can be steak night!
Creativity
Living a ketogenic lifestyle doesn’t have to be complicated. Be creative with the proteins you love and make them enjoyable and simple. Believe it or not, this was the very first surf I’ve ever had in my life. I don’t go out to eat a lot, so It’s safe to say I’ve missed out on a fair share of steak nights.
Nonetheless, this Garlic Butter Surf & Turf Recipe has made up immensely for everything I missed. If you don’t have cooking skills, don’t worry. Try it for the first time and work at your craft. This will be great practice when trying to make better cooking decisions. Food gets more creative when you choose the ingredients you love the most.
Insulin
This creation is excellent in keeping Insulin in check for those who are Insulin resistant. That makes Keto so great for those looking to eat in happiness. The ketogenic lifestyle restricts carbs for us to focus on fats & proteins. Cutting carbs helps regulate our blood sugars, making us more Insulin sensitive, which helps us cut into fat that we want to lose when exercising. Carbs turn into sugar when processed into the body, and most of the time, when overeating, the body tends to get overwhelmed and shut down. We usually go into a heavy sleep after eating such meals. This Garlic Butter Surf & Turf w/ Creamy Blackened A1 Sauce does just the trick.
Cooking with Seafood
Let’s get into this recipe a little further. I used Jumbo Atlantic Shrimp in this recipe, and it was so plump and juicy. In general, cooking with shrimp and seafood has been a great convenience. This is because seafood cooks very fast. I highly suggest keeping seafood on your keto list for those who live a busy lifestyle. There are so many options to choose from for seafood, and it’s rich in omega-three and other nutrients.
Cooking with Fattier Steak
A good steak isn’t hard to fall in love with. I’ve found myself cooking a lot of Ribeye, especially ones with beautiful marbling. I love a good sirloin, but I can’t lie; it’s too lean for your boy. You see, many people might think more skeletal protein is better. While I have no problem with lean proteins, the problem is leaner proteins spike Insulin. As we all know, Insulin spikes are a vital component of many health issues. Weight gain is just the start of things, and along comes diabetes, poor gut health, and many more factors. In my experience, going with fattier proteins has helped me lose over 50 pounds and counting by not triggering Insulin. A little Cajun Seasoning and grass-fed butter are all you need to get the job done quickly and easily.
Surf & Turf Creation
At last, you get a beautiful combination of the two called surf & turf. Feel free to serve with your favorite sautéed greens. You can surf & turf with lobster, shrimp, crab, scallops; you name it, you got it. My goal is to make your keto journey a successful one for the time and time to come, and I hope you enjoy this recipe.
Keep strong on your Keto Lifestyle and never give up on your quest for a new healthier, beautiful life! Leave a comment and share your experience. We’ll talk soon.
