Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cook pasta in a large pot of salted water until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. Toss the shrimp with 1 teaspoon of blackened seasoning. Cook in a skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, cook the seasoned steak for 4-5 minutes until browned. Remove and keep warm.
  4. Melt butter in the skillet, add onion and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, then stir in cream and bring to a simmer. Add Parmesan, mixing until smooth.
  5. Combine the cooked pasta, shrimp, and steak in the sauce. Toss gently to coat, and season with salt and pepper.
  6. Serve garnished with parsley and accompanied by garlic bread or salad.

Notes

Ensure shrimp is cooked just until pink and opaque to avoid rubbery texture. Thicker sauce can be achieved by simmering longer or adding more cheese.
