Season and Cook the Steak and Shrimp:

Make the Alfredo Sauce:

  • In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
  • Add the heavy cream, bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low.
  • Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

Combine:

  • Toss the cooked pasta with the Alfredo sauce until well coated.
  • Slice the rested steak into thin strips.

Serve:

  • Plate the Alfredo pasta, top with sliced steak and shrimp. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, or a squeeze of lemon if desired.
