🥩 🍤
Ingredients:
2 ribeye or sirloin steaks (about 1 inch thick) 🥩
Salt and pepper, to taste 🧂
1 tablespoon olive oil 🛢️
1 tablespoon butter 🧈
1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined 🍤
3 cloves garlic, minced 🧄
1 cup heavy cream 🥛
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning (adjust to taste) 🌶️
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese 🧀
Optional: Fresh parsley for garnish 🌿
Instructions:
Cook the Steaks:
Season the steaks with salt and pepper on both sides. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and cook to your desired doneness (about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare). Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest while you prepare the sauce.
Sauté the Shrimp:
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the shrimp and season with Cajun seasoning. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the shrimp are pink and cooked through. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Make the Creamy Sauce:
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is smooth. Adjust seasoning with more Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper if desired.
Combine:
Slice the rested steaks and place them back in the skillet with the creamy Cajun shrimp sauce. Spoon the sauce over the steak and let it simmer for a minute to heat through.
Serve:
Serve the steak topped with the creamy Cajun shrimp sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. This dish pairs well with rice, pasta, or a side of vegetables! 🍽️
Enjoy your rich and flavorful Steak in Creamy Cajun Shrimp Sauce! 😋😋❤️
