Cheesy Steak and Shrimp Skillet Bowl

Ingredients:

1 lb ribeye or sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized strips

1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 tsp olive oil (for shrimp)

1 tsp chili powder

Salt, pepper, and garlic powder (to taste)

Vegetables:

1 green bell pepper, sliced

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 medium yellow onion, sliced

1 tbsp olive oil

½ tsp garlic powder

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Cheese Sauce:

1½ cups heavy cream

½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1 tsp garlic powder

½ tsp Cajun seasoning

¼ tsp salt

¼ tsp black pepper

½ tsp Italian seasoning

Base (Optional):

1 large baked potato per serving (optional base)

Instructions:

Sear the Steak: 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.

Cook the Shrimp: 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.

Sauté the Veggies: 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.

Make the Cheese Sauce: 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.

Assemble: In a serving tray or bowl, layer the sautéed veggies first, then top with steak and shrimp. Generously drizzle the cheese sauce over everything.

Optional Potato Base: 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. Layer the steak, shrimp, veggies, and cheese sauce directly on top.
