Ingredients
8 oz fettuccine or your favorite pasta
1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 lb steak, sliced into thin strips
2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped parsley, for garnish
Directions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning, along with salt and pepper, over the shrimp and steak. Give everything a good toss to coat evenly.
- Add the steak to the hot skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes, just until it gets nicely browned. Take the steak out and set it aside for now.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic. Sauté just until it becomes fragrant—this takes only about a minute.
- Toss the shrimp into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, until they turn pink and curl up. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set them aside with the steak.
- Lower the heat and pour the heavy cream into the skillet, stirring to blend with the pan juices.
- Sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese and keep stirring until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Add the cooked pasta, steak, and shrimp back into the skillet. Toss everything gently so the pasta gets coated in that luscious sauce.
- Finish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley, and serve your Cajun Shrimp and Steak Alfredo Pasta right away while it’s warm and creamy.
