Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz fettuccine pasta
- 8 oz skirt steak
- 8 oz large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tbsp blackening seasoning
- 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Pat the steak and shrimp dry. Generously coat both with blackening seasoning on all sides.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from skillet and let rest.
- In the same skillet, add remaining olive oil and cook shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until opaque and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium and melt butter in the skillet. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Let it thicken for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add cooked fettuccine to the sauce, tossing to coat evenly.
- Slice the rested steak thinly. Plate the Alfredo pasta, then top with sliced steak and cooked shrimp.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
For extra richness, stir in a splash of white wine before adding the heavy cream. Serve with a crisp green salad or garlic bread for a complete meal.
