Cooking Instructions
- Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Cook the penne pasta until al dente, about 10-12 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
- Heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season shrimp with blackened seasoning and sauté for 1-2 minutes on each side until pink. Set aside.
- Reduce heat to high and add a tablespoon of butter. Sear cubed sirloin steak with blackened seasoning for 1-2 minutes until browned. Set aside with shrimp.
- In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of butter and cook diced onion for 3-5 minutes until translucent. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Pour in heavy cream and reserved pasta water, stir to combine. Add Parmesan cheese, extra blackened seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir until sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add drained penne pasta to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Add reserved pasta water if needed to adjust consistency.
- Gently fold in cooked shrimp and seared steak, ensuring everything is evenly distributed. Heat through for a minute, then remove from heat.
- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley and additional Parmesan if desired.

Notes
Enjoy fresh for the best texture; store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on low heat to restore creaminess.
