Steak in Creamy Cajun Shrimp Sauce

Ingredients:

• 2 ribeye or sirloin steaks (about 1-inch thick)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Directions:

1. Prepare the steaks: Season the steaks generously with salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning.
2. Cook the steaks: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the steaks and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and let rest.
3. Make the sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the shrimp and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
4. Create the creamy sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer, then add the Parmesan cheese and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until the sauce is thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
5. Serve: Slice the rested steaks and plate them. Spoon the creamy Cajun shrimp sauce generously over the steak. Garnish with sliced green onions.
