Add chicken or steak and cook for a few minutes on each side, flipping only once, until chicken is cooked through (165 degrees), or steak is medium rare, about 3-5 minutes. Remove meat to a plate, cover with tinfoil and allow to rest. For shrimp, cook on a grill pan or in a cast iron pan for 2-4 minutes on each side, just until pink, flipping once.
