Ingredients
- 2 – 6 oz. The Honest Bison Elk Medallions
- 1 lb. large cooked shrimp, thawed & deveined
- 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
- 1 Tbsp. minced garlic
- 1 lemon
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 2 Tbsp. steak seasoning
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the grill or smoker to 450 degrees F.
Step 2
Melt the butter, then stir in the minced garlic.
Step 3
Add the shrimp to a large bowl, then pour the melted butter and garlic over the shrimp and toss to coat. Transfer to a large cast-iron or high-temp skillet.
Step 4
Brush the elk medallions with olive oil, then season with the steak seasoning, and place them into the skillet with the shrimp.
Step 5
Cut the lemon into four wedges and squeeze the lemon juice over the shrimp.
Step 6
Place the skillet onto the grill or smoker, over indirect heat, and cook until the internal temperature reaches about 130-135 for medium-rare.
Step 7
Carefully remove the skillet from the grill or smoker. Let the elk medallions rest for a few minutes. While resting, using a spoon, toss the shrimp in the melted butter, then serve immediately.
- Any size cooked shrimp will work.
- Elk medallions are best served at medium-rare temperature.
- Can substitute Elk Medallions for Bison Medallions, Venison Medallions, or another similarly-sized steak of your choice.
- Serve with a side of your favorite fresh vegetables, salad or sides
