TOTAL TIME
1
Rub both sides of the sirloin steak with the cajun seasoning, and let it sit for 15 minutes to absorb flavors.
2
Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned steak and cook until it's browned on both sides and reaches your preferred level of doneness. Transfer the steak to a plate and keep it warm.
3
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add unsalted butter and let it melt.
4
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until they turn pink, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the cooked shrimp to a bowl and set it aside.
5
Put the pre-minced garlic into the skillet and cook it until it's fragrant, about 30 seconds.
6
Pour in the chicken broth and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet.
7
Stir in the heavy cream, dijon mustard, and the rest of the cajun seasoning. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 2 minutes.
8
Add in the freshly grated parmigiano reggiano cheese, stirring until it melts into the sauce.
9
Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the lemon juice and the cooked shrimp.
10
Pour the creamy cajun shrimp sauce over the cooked steak. Garnish with the freshly chopped parsley before serving.
