For the Proteins:
1 lb. ribeye or sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
1/2 lb. large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 1/2 tbsp Cajun seasoning (divided)
For the Alfredo Sauce:
2 tbsp butter
3-4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Pasta:
12 oz. fettuccine or linguine pasta

INSTRUCTIONS:
Cook the Pasta:
Cook fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the Proteins:
In a medium bowl, toss the steak pieces with 1/2 tbsp Cajun seasoning.
In another bowl, season the shrimp with 1/2 tbsp Cajun seasoning.
Cook the Steak:
In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp oil over medium-high heat. Add steak and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove and set aside.

Make the Alfredo Sauce:
In the skillet, melt 2 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and remaining Cajun seasoning, stirring until smooth and thickened, 2-3 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
