Preparation

Step 1: Cook the Pasta

1. First, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
2. Next, cook the pasta according to package directions until it’s al dente.
3. Once it’s ready, drain the pasta and set it aside for later use.

Step 2: Season and Prepare the Steak and Shrimp

1. To begin, mix the olive oil, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and black pepper in a small bowl.
2. Then, rub half of this spice blend onto the steak slices.
3. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, use the remaining mixture to season the shrimp, making sure each piece is thoroughly coated.

Step 3: Cook the Steak

1. Now, heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
2. Once the skillet is hot, place the seasoned steak slices in it.
3. Sear the steak for 2-3 minutes on each side until it reaches your preferred level of doneness.
4. After cooking, remove the steak from the skillet and set it aside.

Step 4: Cook the Shrimp

1. Using the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if needed.
2. Then, place the shrimp in the skillet and cook them for 2-3 minutes per side, until they turn pink and opaque.
3. Afterward, transfer the cooked shrimp to the same plate as the steak.

Step 5: Make the Alfredo Sauce

1. Now, in a large skillet, combine the condensed cream of mushroom soup, milk, Parmesan cheese, oregano, garlic powder, and black pepper.
2. Stir the mixture thoroughly and allow it to simmer over medium heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
3. Continue cooking until the sauce thickens to a creamy consistency.

Step 6: Combine the Ingredients

1. Next, add the cooked steak and shrimp to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce.
2. Stir to coat the steak and shrimp thoroughly with the sauce, ensuring even coverage.

Step 7: Toss with Pasta

1. Then, add the cooked pasta to the skillet containing the sauce, steak, and shrimp.
2. Toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated in the Alfredo sauce.

Step 8: Serve

1. Finally, plate the pasta and garnish with additional Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and lemon wedges if desired.
2. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Cajun-inspired shrimp and steak Alfredo pasta.
