Follow these simple steps to create your Cajun Shrimp and Steak Alfredo Pasta:

1. Cook the Pasta: Begin by boiling a large pot of salted water. Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Prepare the Steak: In a bowl, toss the sliced steak with 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning, ensuring it’s well coated.

3. Sear the Steak: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned steak to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes, until browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.

4. Cook the Shrimp: In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Season the shrimp with the remaining Cajun seasoning. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until they are pink and opaque. Remove and set aside with the steak.

5. Sauté the Vegetables: If using, add bell pepper and onion to the skillet. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until softened.

6. Make the Alfredo Sauce: Lower the heat and add minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer.

7. Incorporate Cheese: Gradually whisk in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of pasta water to achieve the desired consistency.

8. Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked pasta, shrimp, and steak into the Alfredo sauce. Toss everything together until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

9. Serve Immediately: Plate the pasta, garnishing with chopped fresh parsley.

Following these steps, you’ll create a delightful dish that marries flavors beautifully while providing a satisfying meal for any occasion!
