Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and pepper. Let them sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until hot. Add the steaks and cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until your desired level of doneness. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a plate, covered with foil.
For the Creamy Cajun Shrimp:
Season the shrimp with Cajun seasoning.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet and cook until pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened. Remove from heat and keep warm.
For the Sautéed Spinach:
In a separate skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and sauté until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
For the Mashed Yukon Potatoes:
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the milk, heavy cream, and butter.
Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
To Serve:
Plate the mashed Yukon potatoes.
Place the seared steak next to the mashed potatoes.
Top the steak with the creamy Cajun shrimp.
Serve the sautéed spinach on the side.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Enjoy this delicious and indulgent meal.
