This decadent steak and shrimp pasta features tender beef, juicy shrimp, and pasta all tossed in a rich, garlicky cream sauce. It’s an indulgent, restaurant-quality meal you can make at home in under an hour.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb steak (ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon)
  • 1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 12 oz fettuccine or linguine pasta
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season steak with salt, pepper, and paprika. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear steak to desired doneness. Remove and let rest before slicing.
  2. In the same skillet, cook shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side until pink and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  3. Melt butter in the skillet and sauté garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  4. Pour in heavy cream and simmer for 2–3 minutes. Stir in Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes, cooking until cheese melts and sauce is smooth.
  5. Meanwhile, cook pasta until al dente according to package instructions. Drain and add directly to the cream sauce.
  6. Toss pasta to coat evenly, then add steak and shrimp back to the pan. Stir gently to combine and heat through.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley and extra Parmesan if desired.

Notes

  • Use Cajun seasoning instead of paprika for a smoky, spicy twist.
  • Swap shrimp for scallops or add sautéed mushrooms for variety.
  • Use penne or tagliatelle if fettuccine isn’t available.
  • For a lighter version, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
  • Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of cream or milk to restore the sauce.
