Ingredients:
For the Cajun Shrimp:
– 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
– 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
– 2 tbsp olive oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tbsp lemon juice
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
For the Steak:
– 2 ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)
– 2 tbsp olive oil
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 sprigs fresh thyme
For the Side:
– 2 cups cooked rice or potatoes (optional)
Directions:
Step 1: Cajun Shrimp Preparation
Toss the shrimp in a bowl with Cajun seasoning until each piece is thoroughly coated.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they turn a vibrant pink and are fully cooked through.
Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute. Remove from heat, then stir in lemon juice. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Step 2: Ribeye Steak Preparation
Pat the ribeye steaks dry with paper towels. Rub both sides with olive oil, salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning.
In a large skillet or grill pan, heat over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and fresh thyme to the pan.
Cook the steaks for 4-5 minutes per side for a medium-rare finish (use a meat thermometer to reach an internal temperature of 135°F or 57°C).
Remove the steaks from the heat and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Step 3: Serve the Feast
Slice the ribeye steaks and serve them alongside the Cajun shrimp.
Pair with your choice of a side like fluffy rice or crispy potatoes for a complete meal.
