Ingredients:

For the blackened seasoning:

• 2 tablespoons paprika
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon dried thyme
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt

For the steak and shrimp:

• 2 (8 oz) New York strip steaks, about 1 inch thick
• 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the alfredo sauce:

• 1/4 cup butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
• Cooked fettuccine pasta for serving

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, mix together all the ingredients for the blackened seasoning until well combined. Set aside.
2. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and season them generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Rub the blackened seasoning onto both sides of the steaks, pressing it into the meat to adhere.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until cooked to your desired doneness. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest while you cook the shrimp.
4. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the butter. Once the butter has melted, add the shrimp to the skillet. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
5. In the same skillet, add an additional tablespoon of butter and the minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the garlic is fragrant.
6. Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
7. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season the alfredo sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
8. Return the cooked steak and shrimp to the skillet, tossing them in the alfredo sauce until heated through.
9. Serve the blackened steak and shrimp alfredo over cooked fettuccine pasta, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.

This blackened steak and shrimp alfredo is a restaurant-quality dish that’s perfect for a special dinner at home. Enjoy the bold flavors and creamy richness of this indulgent meal with your loved ones!
