Cook Steps
- Begin by seasoning the strip steak generously with kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper on both sides. Let the steak rest at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
- Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat and add a splash of neutral oil to coat the bottom. Once the oil starts shimmering, carefully place the steak in the skillet and sear for 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the steak and sear for an additional 2 to 3 minutes for medium-rare. Remove from the skillet and tent with foil.
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the bucatini and cook according to package instructions, usually around 8 to 10 minutes. Reserve a cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
- In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and melt the butter and olive oil. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute. Pour in wine or broth, add kosher salt, crushed red pepper, lemon zest, and black pepper. Let simmer for 2 minutes until sauce reduces by half.
- Add the shrimp to the sauce, cooking for 1 to 2 minutes until they turn pink. Remove from heat and mix in parsley and lemon juice.
- To serve, place drained bucatini on plates and top with steak and shrimp. Drizzle with scampi sauce and garnish with parsley and lemon wedges.

Notes
For best results, use a meat thermometer to check doneness, and always choose fresh shrimp for better flavor.
