Ingredients

  • 8 oz fettuccine
  • 1 lb shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1 lb steak ribeye or sirloin
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Cook the fettuccine in salted boiling water until al dente, according to package instructions.
  • While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Season the steak with salt and pepper, then add it to the skillet. Sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned and cooked to your liking. Remove and set aside.
