Ingredients

  • 2 ribeye or sirloin steaks (about 1 inch thick)
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  • Season the Steaks: Generously season both sides of the steaks with Cajun seasoning.
  • Cook the Steaks: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add the steaks and sear until browned on both sides and cooked to your desired level of doneness. Remove the steaks from the skillet and set aside.
  • Prepare the Shrimp: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of butter. Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink, about 1-2 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp and set aside.
  • Make the Sauce: Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant, approximately 1 minute. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and continue to stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  • Combine and Serve: Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, stirring to coat them in the sauce. Place the steaks on serving plates and spoon the creamy Cajun shrimp sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Spice Level: Adjust the Cajun seasoning amount or add hot sauce for more heat.
  • Cream Substitutes: Half-and-half can replace heavy cream for a lighter sauce.
  • Cheese Variations: Try Asiago or Romano instead of Parmesan for a unique flavor.
