Ingredients:

– 1 cup milk
– 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 tablespoon olive oil (for shrimp)
– 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
– 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (for shrimp)
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 tablespoon olive oil (for steak)
– 1 pound boneless, sirloin steak, thinly sliced
– 1 pound penne pasta
– 1 teaspoon paprika (for steak)
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (for steak)
– 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (for steak)
– 1 10.75 oz can condensed cream of mushroom soup
– 1/2 teaspoon paprika (for shrimp)

 

Instructions:

1. Start by cooking the pasta. Boil a large pot of salted water, then add 1 pound of penne pasta. Cook according to package instructions, stirring occasionally. Once cooked to al dente, drain and set aside.

2. While the pasta is cooking, prepare the seasonings for the meat. In a bowl, mix together 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.

3. Toss the thinly sliced sirloin steak in the seasoning mix, ensuring each piece is well coated. Heat another tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Grill or sauté the seasoned steak until it reaches your desired doneness, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

4. In the same skillet, add the shrimp. Toss them in a seasoning combination of 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Sauté the shrimp until they turn pink and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes.

5. Now it’s time to make the creamy Alfredo sauce. In a large skillet over medium heat, combine 1 can of condensed cream of mushroom soup with 1 cup of milk. Stir in 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.

6. Once the sauce is ready, add the cooked steak and shrimp to the skillet. Gently toss to coat everything in that rich Alfredo sauce.

7. Finally, add the cooked penne pasta to the skillet. Toss everything together thoroughly to ensure the pasta is coated in the delicious Cajun Alfredo sauce.

8. Serve the Cajun Shrimp and Steak Alfredo Pasta hot. Enjoy every comforting bite!
