Grilled Steak with Cajun Cream Shrimp
Ingredients:
1 thick-cut steak (ribeye, strip, or filet), about 10-12 oz
Salt and cracked black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
10 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tbsp butter
1 tsp Cajun seasoning
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 garlic clove, minced
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
Prepare Steak:
Season steak generously with salt and cracked black pepper.
Preheat grill or grill pan to high heat.
Grill steak for 4-5 minutes per side (depending on thickness) until desired doneness with dark grill marks.
Remove steak, cover loosely with foil, and let rest.
Cook Shrimp:
In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
Add garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
Toss shrimp with Cajun seasoning and add to skillet.
Cook shrimp 2-3 minutes per side until lightly charred and opaque.
Make Cajun Cream Sauce:
Reduce heat to low.
Pour heavy cream into the skillet with shrimp, stirring gently to coat shrimp and thicken sauce slightly (about 2-3 minutes).
Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or extra Cajun spice as desired.
Plate and Serve:
Place grilled steak on a warm white plate.
Spoon shrimp and Cajun cream sauce over the steak, allowing sauce to pool slightly around the base.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and cracked black pepper.
Serve immediately, ideally with rustic sides like grilled vegetables or buttery mashed potatoes.
