Instructions:
- Cook the Pasta:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare the Steak:
- Season the steak pieces with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak until browned and cooked to your liking (about 3-4 minutes per side for medium). Remove and set aside.
- Cook the Shrimp:
- In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil or butter. Add the shrimp and season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook until pink and opaque (about 2 minutes per side). Remove and set aside with the steak.
- Make the Alfredo Sauce:
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the heavy cream and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with black pepper, nutmeg (if using), and salt to taste.
- Combine the Pasta:
- Toss the cooked pasta in the Alfredo sauce until fully coated. Add the steak and shrimp on top, mixing gently to combine.
- Serve:
- Garnish with fresh parsley and additional Parmesan cheese. Serve warm and enjoy!
Pro Tips:
- For extra flavor, you can add mushrooms or caramelized onions to the sauce.
- Make sure not to overcook the shrimp—they cook quickly and can become rubbery.
- Adjust the sauce consistency by adding a splash of pasta water if needed.
