Indulge in the perfect blend of land and sea with this sumptuous steak and shrimp dish, a true treat for any special occasion!

🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 ribeye steaks, about 1 lb each
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tsp Cajun seasoning
- 1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳
1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steaks with salt and pepper, and sear them for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
2. In the same skillet, melt butter and add garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Add the shrimp to the skillet, sprinkle with Cajun seasoning, and cook until they turn pink and are cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
4. Pour heavy cream into the skillet, bring to a simmer, and let it reduce slightly, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
5. Return the steaks and shrimp to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them to combine. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, just until everything is heated through.
6. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
