Directions

Prepare the Steaks

Start by rubbing both sides of the steaks with olive oil, Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Adjust the time if you like your steak more or less cooked.
Let the steaks rest for about 5 minutes so they stay juicy.

Cook the Cajun Shrimp

In a bowl, toss the shrimp with Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, and minced garlic.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are pink and cooked through.
Squeeze lemon juice over the shrimp and toss to coat them well.

Serve

Plate the steaks next to the Cajun shrimp.
Serve with cooked rice, mashed potatoes, or grilled vegetables.
Don’t forget to garnish with fresh parsley for extra flavor and color!
