Ingredients:

2 beef steaks (such as ribeye or sirloin)
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup chicken broth
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

 

Directions:

Season the steaks with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat.
Cook steaks to your preferred doneness, about 3-4 minutes per side for medium. Set aside.
In the same pan, reduce heat to medium and melt the butter.
Add shrimp, garlic, and paprika, cooking until shrimp are pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and chicken broth, bringing to a simmer.
Allow sauce to thicken slightly, approximately 3-4 minutes.
Return steaks to the pan, spooning sauce over them to warm through.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
