Ingredients
  

Proteins:

  • 1 lb steak sirloin, filet, or ribeye
  • ½ lb shrimp peeled and deveined

Pasta:

  • 12 oz fettuccine or linguine

Alfredo Sauce:

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced

Seasonings:

  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: Pinch of red pepper flakes for heat

Garnishes:

  • Fresh parsley chopped

Instructions
 

1. Prepare the Steak and Shrimp:

    Steak:

    • Heat a skillet over high heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
    • Sear the steak for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness (medium-rare recommended).
    • Rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.

    Shrimp:

    • In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter and sauté the shrimp until pink and opaque (about 2-3 minutes per side).
    • Remove from heat and set aside.

    2. Cook the Pasta:

    • Boil the pasta in salted water according to package instructions until al dente.
    • Reserve ½ cup of pasta water before draining.

    3. Make the Alfredo Sauce:

    • In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
    • Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute).
    • Pour in heavy cream and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
    • Gradually whisk in Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
    • Add salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust the sauce consistency with reserved pasta water if needed.

    4. Combine and Serve:

    • Toss the cooked pasta in the Alfredo sauce until fully coated.
    • Plate the pasta and top with sliced steak and shrimp.
    • Garnish with fresh parsley and optional red pepper flakes for a finishing touch.

    Notes

    • Use Fresh Ingredients: Freshly grated Parmesan ensures a smoother sauce, and fresh shrimp provides the best flavor.
    • Don’t Overcook: Shrimp cooks quickly; remove them from the skillet as soon as they turn pink to avoid rubbery texture.
    • Rest the Steak: Allow the steak to rest after cooking for juicy and tender slices.
    • Save Pasta Water: Use reserved pasta water to adjust the Alfredo sauce's consistency if it becomes too thick.
    • Garnish for Flavor: A sprinkle of parsley or red pepper flakes enhances the dish’s presentation and taste.
    These tips ensure your Steak and Shrimp Alfredo is perfectly cooked and delicious every time!
