# What You'll Need:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 pound sirloin or ribeye steak
02 - 8 ounces peeled, deveined shrimp
03 - 2 tablespoons Cajun spice blend
04 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
05 - 1 tablespoon butter
06 - 3 cloves minced garlic
07 - 1 cup heavy cream
08 - ½ cup chicken broth
09 - ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan
10 - Salt as needed
11 - Black pepper as needed
12 - Chopped fresh parsley for topping

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Set out everything you'll need so it's all within reach.
02 - Cover the steak with Cajun spice blend. Rest it for 10 minutes so the flavors sink in.
03 - Heat olive oil in a big skillet over medium-high. Cook steak about 4-5 minutes per side until it's how you like it. Put it aside to rest.
04 - Lower heat to medium and drop in the butter. Throw in your minced garlic and cook for a minute until it smells good.
05 - Add your shrimp to the pan and stir them around for 3-4 minutes until they turn pink all over.
06 - Add the heavy cream and chicken broth, giving everything a good stir. Let it bubble gently.
07 - Add your Parmesan and stir until it's all melted and the sauce gets a bit thicker. Sprinkle in salt and black pepper how you like it.
08 - While your sauce bubbles away, cut the rested steak into thin strips.
09 - Put the sliced steak back into the pan with your shrimp and sauce. Gently toss everything together.
10 - Turn off the heat, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve it up right away.
