Ingredients
  

2 ribeye steaks (1-inch thick)

Salt and black pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Season the Steaks: Rub the ribeye steaks with olive oil and season generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Let them marinate for at least 20 minutes at room temperature while you prepare the shrimp.

    Cook the Steaks: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, place the seasoned steaks in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached (use a meat thermometer for accuracy). Remove the steaks from the skillet and allow them to rest for about 5 minutes.

      Prepare the Cajun Shrimp: In the same skillet, add the butter and melt over medium heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the shrimp and sprinkle the remaining smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt. Cook the shrimp for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they turn pink and opaque.

        Add the Sauce: Pour in the Worcestershire sauce, tossing the shrimp to coat them evenly in the sauce. Cook for another minute, allowing the flavors to blend, then remove from heat.

          Serve: Slice the rested ribeye steaks and place them on a serving platter. Top with the Cajun shrimp and the buttery sauce. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for a splash of brightness.
