Cajun Surf & Turf

INGREDIENTS

2 tablespoons oil

1 pound steak (such as strip loin, rib eye, etc.)

Salt & Pepper to taste

1 tablespoon cajun seasoning

2 tablespoons butter

8 ounces shrimp, peeled and deveined

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup chicken broth

3/4 cup heavy cream

1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon parsley, chopped

INSTRUCTIONS

Season steaks with salt and pepper to taste and let sit out for 20 minutes prior to cooking.⁠

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the steaks and sear until lightly browned on both sides and cooked to the desired level of doneness, before setting aside.⁠

Reduce the heat to medium, add the butter and let it melt before adding the shrimp. Cook until just pink on both sides, about 1-2 minutes per side, and set aside.⁠

Add the garlic to the skillet and cook for about a minute.⁠

Add the broth and deglaze the pan, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom.⁠

Stir in the cream and cajun seasoning, bring to a boil, and let simmer for 1-2 minutes.⁠

Mix in the cheese until it melts into the sauce.⁠

Stir in the lemon juice, parsley, and shrimp. Serve over the steaks.
