  2. Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan and simmer on medium low, about 15 minutes.
  3. Stir in Parmesan cheese, basil, salt and pepper. Lower heat and keep warm while you prepare the steak and shrimp.
  4. Season the steak to your preference. Grill either on the stove or outside grill, until done to your liking. For our 1/2 inch think steaks we cooked them on a gas grill for 5 minutes per side for medium rare.
  5. At the same time, add the shrimp to skewers. Melt the butter in the microwave approximately 20 – 30 seconds and brush it onto the shrimp. Sprinkle with Old Bay seasoning. Click here for Old Bay Seasoning. 
  6. Grill the shrimp over medium high heat, or pan fry, until pink and opaque flipping over half way through, about 2 minutes per side or 4-6 minutes total.
  7. Place the grilled steak on a plate, top with the grilled shrimp and then the Parmesan sauce.
