For the steak:
1 lb ribeye or sirloin steak
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
Salt and black pepper to taste
For the shrimp:
1/2 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 tsp Cajun seasoning
1 tbsp olive oil
For the Alfredo sauce:
2 tbsp unsalted butter
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

For the pasta:

Instructions
Prepare the steak:
Season the steak with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust to your preferred doneness. Remove from heat, let it rest for 5 minutes, and slice thinly.
Cook the shrimp:
Toss the shrimp with Cajun seasoning. Heat olive oil in the same skillet and sauté the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and cooked through. Set aside.
Make the pasta:
Cook the fettuccine in salted water according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Prepare the Alfredo sauce:
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Stir in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Gradually whisk in Parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens. Add Cajun seasoning and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Assemble the dish:
Toss the cooked pasta in the Alfredo sauce until well-coated. Plate the pasta and top with sliced steak and shrimp.
Garnish and serve:
Sprinkle fresh parsley over the dish and serve hot.
This decadent surf-and-turf Cajun Alfredo pasta is the perfect fusion of creamy, spicy, and savory flavors. It’s a restaurant-quality meal you can enjoy at home!
