Ingredients

Pasta:

• 12 oz Pasta of choice
• 1 - 1 1/2 lbs strip steak
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1 lb peeled and deveined shrimp

Sauce:

• 2 tsp old bay
• 1/2 small onion (or shallot), chopped small
• 1 Serrano, chopped small
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/3 cup vegetable broth
• 1/4 cup crème fraîche (or heavy cream)
• 2 oz Parmesan cheese, grated
• Garnish with shredded parmesan and chopped cilantro

Instructions

Directions:

1. Cook pasta to al dente according to the package instructions. Once done, drain, reserving pasta water. Set aside.
2. Season shrimp with Old Bay evenly. Set aside.
3. Season steak generously with salt and pepper. Add olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks on all sides for about 2 minutes. Add steak weight to sear and shift them to the side of the pan to make room for the shrimp.
4. To the pan, add seasoned shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 4 to 5 minutes, as the steak continues to cook. Once the shrimp is done, remove shrimp and steak from the pan and set aside.
5. To the same pan add onion (or shallot), serrano pepper, garlic and sauté for about 2 to 3 minutes. Then add vegetable broth, continuing to scrape the bottom of the pan to deglaze, and cook for another 2 minutes. Next, add crème fraiche (or cream), parmesan cheese and stir until fully incorporated into the sauce and it comes to a gentle simmer. Add the cooked pasta to the pan and fully coat with the sauce.
6. Return shrimp to the pan, right on top of the pasta, then nest the steak strips right on top. Garnish with more parmesan and fresh cilantro. Serve family style and enjoy!
