Ingredients:
For the Steaks:
Two ribeye steaks, or any other type of steak
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Cajun Shrimp Sauce:
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped parsley
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions:
Prepare the Steaks:
On both sides, liberally season the steaks with salt and black pepper.
Take a large pan and heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the steaks to the skillet and cook to your desired level of doneness (about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare).
After taking the steaks out of the skillet, let them rest.
Prepare the Cajun Shrimp Sauce:
In the same skillet, add olive oil and butter over medium heat.
Add the shrimp and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until they are opaque and pink.
. Remove shrimp and set aside.
Garlic powder should be added to the skillet and cooked for about one minute, or until aromatic.
After adding the heavy cream and chicken broth, mix everything together.
Stir in the Cajun seasoning and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce heat to low and let the sauce thicken for about 5 minutes.
Add the Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and well combined.
Put the shrimp back in the skillet and give them a toss to coat them with sauce.
Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste.
Stir in chopped parsley.
Serve:
Plate the steaks and spoon the creamy Cajun shrimp sauce over the top.
Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
Serve hot, accompanied by your preferred side dishes—fresh salad, steaming veggies, or mashed potatoes.
