Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.

2. For the surf, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp, salt and pepper, and garlic and cook until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and add the lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of butter. Stir until the butter is melted.

3. For the turf, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a separate skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steaks with salt and pepper and add to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the desired doneness is reached. Remove from heat and add the minced garlic, dried thyme, and 1 tablespoon of butter. Stir until the butter is melted.

4. For the sides, place the mixed greens in a large bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon of the oil from the mojo, salt, and pepper.

5. In another bowl, combine the cubed potatoes with mojo, veggie blend, salt, and pepper. Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

6. To serve, place the mixed greens on a plate, followed by the filet mignon, and finally, the shrimp on top. Serve with the roasted potatoes on the side.
