🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️

- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 4 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
- 1 pound steak (e.g., strip loin, rib eye)
- 8 ounces shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup chicken broth or dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons oil
- Additional Cajun seasoning to taste

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳

1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak with Cajun seasoning and sear until browned on both sides and cooked to your desired level of doneness. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
2. Reduce heat to medium. Melt butter in the same skillet, then add shrimp and cook until they turn pink, approximately 1-2 minutes per side. Remove shrimp and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add chopped garlic and sauté until fragrant.
4. Pour in chicken broth or wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
5. Stir in heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and additional Cajun seasoning. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower heat and simmer for 1 minute.
6. Add grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce, stirring until the cheese is completely melted.
7. Return the shrimp to the skillet and add lemon juice and chopped parsley. Stir well to combine.
8. To serve, place the steak on a plate and generously top with the creamy Cajun shrimp sauce.
