Salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter
2 cloves garlic, smashed
Fresh thyme sprigs (optional)
For the Shrimp:
1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined

For the Alfredo Sauce:

1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste

For the Pasta:
12 oz fettuccine pasta

Instructions:
1. Prepare the Steak:
Pat the steaks dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add the steaks and sear for 3–4 minutes on each side for medium-rare (adjust to your preferred doneness).
Lower the heat, add butter, garlic, and thyme sprigs. Baste the steaks with the melted butter for 1–2 minutes.
Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
2. Cook the Shrimp:
Toss shrimp with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and olive oil.
In the same skillet, cook shrimp over medium heat for 2 minutes per side, until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside.
3. Make the Alfredo Sauce:
In a clean skillet, melt butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant.
Add heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg, if using.
4. Cook the Pasta:
Boil fettuccine in salted water until al dente. Drain and toss with the Alfredo sauce.
5. Assemble the Dish:
Plate the fettuccine Alfredo as the base.
Top with sliced steak and cooked shrimp.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
