Ingredients
  

2 ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon butter

1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup chicken broth

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Steaks: Season the ribeye steaks generously with salt and black pepper on both sides. Let them sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes to ensure even cooking.

    Cook the Steaks: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and let them rest while you prepare the sauce.

      Prepare the Cajun Shrimp Sauce: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the shrimp and sprinkle with Cajun seasoning. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

        Make the Creamy Sauce: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Then pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer.

          Combine Ingredients: Add the halved cherry tomatoes and cooked shrimp back into the sauce. Allow everything to simmer for another 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Stir in lemon juice and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

            Serve: Slice the steaks against the grain and plate them. Spoon the creamy Cajun shrimp sauce generously over the steaks.

              - Presentation Tips: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley to add a pop of color and freshness. Serve with a side of garlic mashed potatoes or grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
