Cajun Shrimp and Steak Alfredo Pasta

Instructions

1. Prepare the Cajun Seasoning:

   • In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.

2. Cook the Pasta:

   • Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

3. Season and Cook the Steak:

   • Season the steak slices with half of the Cajun seasoning.
   • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the steak and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired level of doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.

4. Season and Cook the Shrimp:

   • Season the shrimp with the remaining Cajun seasoning.
   • In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp of butter and cook the shrimp for about 1-2 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

5. Make the Alfredo Sauce:

   • In the same skillet, melt the remaining 1 tbsp of butter over medium heat.
   • Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
   • Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and cook for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6. Combine and Serve:

   • Add the cooked pasta, steak, and shrimp back into the skillet with the Alfredo sauce. Toss to coat everything in the sauce.
   • Garnish with chopped parsley and extra Parmesan if desired.
