Ingredients:
– 1 tablespoon olive oil (for shrimp)
– 2 filet mignons (6 ounces each)
– 1 tablespoon olive oil (for steak)
– Fresh parsley for garnish
– 6 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
– 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning (divided)
– 2 garlic cloves, minced
– 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
– 1/4 cup chicken or seafood broth
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– Salt and black pepper to taste
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions:
1. Begin by preheating a skillet over medium-high heat. Rub the filet mignons with a tablespoon of olive oil and season generously with salt and black pepper. Sear the steaks for about 3-4 minutes on each side for a medium-rare finish, or adjust cooking time to your desired doneness. Once cooked to perfection, remove the steaks from the skillet and allow them to rest.
2. In the same skillet, lower the heat slightly and add another tablespoon of olive oil. Toss the peeled and deveined shrimp in Cajun seasoning, then add them to the skillet. Cook the shrimp for approximately 2 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are fully cooked. Once done, set the shrimp aside.
3. Now, reduce the heat to medium-low and melt the unsalted butter in the skillet. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the chicken or seafood broth, followed by the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle in the remaining Cajun seasoning and stir well. Continue to cook the sauce for 3-4 minutes, allowing it to thicken.
4. To assemble your dish, plate the rested steaks and top them generously with the Cajun shrimp. Finally, drizzle the creamy sauce over the top and garnish with fresh parsley for an inviting finish.
