Ingredients
Meat
- • 1 lb Sirloin steak
Seafood
- • 8 oz Shrimp, medium-sized
Produce
- • 1 tbsp Parsley, fresh
- • 1 tbsp Pre-minced garlic
Canned Goods
- • 1/4 cup Chicken broth
Condiments
- • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- • 1 tbsp Lemon juice
Baking & Spices
- • 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
Oils & Vinegars
- • 2 tbsp Canola oil
Dairy
- • 2 tbsp Butter, unsalted
- • 1 cup Heavy cream
- • 1/4 cup Parmigiano reggiano cheese
Directions:
- Prepare the Steaks
Season both sides of the sirloin steaks with salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning. Set aside to allow the flavors to develop. - Sear the Steaks
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, adding olive oil once hot. Place the steaks in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust according to your desired doneness. Once cooked, transfer the steaks to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. - Cook the Shrimp
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the shrimp, season with the remaining Cajun seasoning, and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until they turn pink. Remove the shrimp and set aside. - Prepare the Creamy Cajun Sauce
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Pour in the chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Add the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, stirring well. Let the sauce simmer for 3-5 minutes until it thickens slightly. - Combine Shrimp with Sauce
Return the shrimp to the skillet, stirring to coat them in the creamy sauce. Let simmer for another 1-2 minutes to meld flavors. - Serve
Spoon the creamy Cajun shrimp sauce over the steaks. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
