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.
