Ingredients

Scale

Instructions

  • Season the Steaks – Coat steaks with half of the Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

  • Combine – Return shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat in the creamy Cajun sauce.
  • Serve & Enjoy – Top steaks with shrimp and a generous drizzle of Cajun cream sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot!
