Instructions
 

Cooking Instructions

  • Season steak with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and chili powder. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high with a drizzle of oil. Sear steak pieces for 1 minute per side, until browned but juicy. Remove and set aside.
  • Toss shrimp in olive oil and a little chili powder or Cajun seasoning. In the same skillet, cook shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side until they curl into a C shape and turn golden. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add olive oil and sauté bell peppers and onions for about 6–7 minutes until slightly tender and charred. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • In a saucepan, heat heavy cream over medium heat. Once bubbling slightly, add Parmesan cheese and seasonings (garlic powder, Cajun, salt, pepper, Italian herbs). Stir until smooth and creamy.
  • In a serving tray or bowl, layer the sautéed veggies first, then top with steak and shrimp. Generously drizzle the cheese sauce over everything.
  • Bake large russet potatoes at 450°F (230°C) for 1 hour and 15 minutes, seasoned with oil, salt, and pepper. Cut open and gently mash the insides with a fork, if using as a base. Layer the steak, shrimp, veggies, and cheese sauce directly on top.

Notes

For added flavor, consider using smoked paprika in place of chili powder. This dish can be made in advance and reheated, but fresh ingredients yield the best results. Feel free to customize the veggies based on your preference.
