Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb fettuccine pasta
  • 1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 lb steak, sliced thin (such as sirloin or ribeye)
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Paprika, to taste
  • Optional: fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add fettuccine pasta and cook until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • Heat a skillet over high heat. Season steak with salt, pepper, and paprika. Sear 1-2 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Add butter to the pan and melt. Sauté garlic for 1 minute. Add shrimp and cook 2-3 minutes per side. Set aside.
  • Pour heavy cream into the pan with garlic drippings. Simmer, then gradually add parmesan cheese, stirring until creamy.
  • Return pasta, steak, and shrimp to the pan. Toss until evenly coated with sauce. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Notes

Use a non-stick skillet for easier searing and cleanup
For a lighter version, substitute milk for heavy cream
Chicken or lamb can be used in place of steak for variation
