Ingredients:
2 tbsp oil
1 lb steak (e.g., strip loin, rib eye)
Cajun seasoning, to taste
2 tbsp butter
8 oz shrimp, peeled and deveined
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1/4 cup chicken broth (or dry white wine)
1 cup heavy cream
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp parsley, chopped
Instructions:
1. Cook the Steak:
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the steaks with Cajun seasoning and sear them on both sides until browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
Set the steaks aside and cover to keep warm.
2. Cook the Shrimp:
Reduce heat to medium and melt butter in the same skillet.
Add the shrimp and cook until pink on both sides, about 1-2 minutes per side.
Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
3. Make the Creamy Sauce:
In the same skillet, add the chopped garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
Pour in the broth or wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom.
Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and Cajun seasoning. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 1 minute.
4. Finish the Sauce:
Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce thickens.
Add lemon juice and chopped parsley, then return the cooked shrimp to the skillet.
5. Serve:
Pour the creamy Cajun shrimp sauce over the steaks and serve immediately.
