Cajun-Spiced Steak and Shrimp Alfredo Pasta
Ingredients:
2 ribeye steaks
12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound fettuccine pasta
4 tablespoons butter, divided
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish
Directions:
Season both sides of the steaks with Cajun seasoning. Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or cook to your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and let rest.
In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of butter and sauté the shrimp until they are pink and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp and set aside.
Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large saucepan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly, and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the Parmesan cheese, continuing to stir until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Slice the steak into strips. Add the cooked pasta, shrimp, and steak slices to the Alfredo sauce. Toss to coat evenly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
