🥩🦐🔥 Tonya’s Fix: Million Dollar Steak & Shrimp Rice (FORGE Edition)  🥩🦐🍚🧄✨

🍴 Ingredients

1 lb sirloin steak, cubed

1 lb large shrimp, peeled & deveined

2 cups cooked white rice (day-old is best)

1 small onion, diced

4 cloves garlic, minced

6 tbsp butter

2 tsp Cape Breton FORGE BBQ Seasoning (divided)

👩🏽‍🍳 Instructions

1) Season the steak (don’t hold back)

2) Sear like you mean it

Sear steak until browned with a crust

Remove and set aside

👉 You want color here—that’s where the “million dollar” flavor starts.

3) Shrimp gets the quick kiss

Toss shrimp with remaining ½ tsp FORGE

Cook just until pink (1–2 minutes per side)

Remove immediately

4) Build the flavor base

Add another 2 tbsp butter

Cook onion until soft

Add garlic and cook until fragrant

5) Garlic butter rice magic

Add rice and toss in the butter

Let it sit a bit to lightly crisp

Taste → adjust salt if needed

6) Bring it all together

Return steak + shrimp

Toss everything together

Finish with:

1 tbsp butter

Optional squeeze of lemon

Cook 2–3 minutes until hot and glossy.

🔥 Why FORGE Wins Here

Built for beef → enhances the steak bite

Pepper-forward → replaces Cajun without clashing

Deep, savory profile → makes the butter + garlic pop

Still balanced enough not to overpower shrimp

💡 Want to Experiment?

SHORELINE → lighter, more coastal vibe (great if you want shrimp to lead)

MAPLE COAL → tiny touch (½ tsp max) for sweet-savory contrast

COAL → heavier smoke = better if you’re going for a grilled/outdoor feel
