Creamy Cajun Shrimp Pasta with Steak & Green Beans

Step 1

Boil salted water in a large skillet over high heat, then add penne and cook until al dente, about 9 minutes.

Step 2

While pasta cooks, season steak generously with salt and pepper, then sear in a separate hot skillet 2 minutes per side for medium-rare.

Step 3

Toss green beans with oil and salt on a sheet pan, then roast at 400°F until crispy and charred, about 10 minutes.

Step 4

Drain pasta and return to the skillet. Push pasta to the side, add shrimp to the empty space, and cook until just pink, about 2 minutes.

Step 5

Pour cream and Cajun seasoning over shrimp and pasta, then toss everything together until the sauce coats evenly, about 1 minute.

Step 6

Slice the steak, then plate the pasta, top with steak, and serve with roasted green beans on the side.
