steak and shrimp:
- Season the steak generously with 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper on both sides.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak for 3-4 minutes per side (for medium-rare), then set it aside to rest.
- In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Season the shrimp with Cajun seasoning and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque. Once done, remove the shrimp from the skillet.
2. Prepare the Homemade Alfredo Sauce:
Now, let’s delve into the creation of the creamy Alfredo sauce:
- In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 1 minute until it releases its aromatic fragrance.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it completely melts into the sauce, giving it a luscious consistency. Season with salt and black pepper to your desired taste.
3. Cook the Pasta:
While you’re working on the sauce, don’t forget about the pasta:
- Cook the pasta following the package instructions until it reaches that perfect al dente texture. Once done, drain the pasta and set it aside.
4. Assemble the Dish:
Now, let’s bring all the elements together into a harmonious creation:
- Slice the rested steak into thin, tantalizing strips.
5. Serve Your Cajun Shrimp and Steak Alfredo Pasta:
The time has come to savor the fruits of your labor:
- Divide the cooked pasta among serving plates.
- Arrange the sliced steak and Cajun shrimp gracefully on top of the pasta.
- With a generous hand, pour the creamy Alfredo sauce over the pasta, steak, and shrimp, allowing it to cascade luxuriously.
- As a finishing touch, garnish your masterpiece with the vibrant notes of chopped fresh parsley and a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
