 Ingredients

For the Ribeye

2 ribeye steaks (10–12 oz each)

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

3 garlic cloves, smashed

2 sprigs fresh rosemary or thyme

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

For the Shrimp Fettuccine

12 oz fettuccine pasta

1 lb medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 tablespoons butter

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1½ cups heavy cream

1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

2 cups fresh spinach

½ cup diced red bell pepper

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

 How to Make It

 Cook the Pasta

Boil the fettuccine in salted water until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of the pasta water before draining for an easy pasta dinner, restaurant-style Alfredo, and best comfort food.

 Sear the Ribeye

Season both sides of the ribeye generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over high heat and sear for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Add butter, garlic, and rosemary, then baste continuously for an easy steak dinner, steakhouse favorite, and perfect medium-rare ribeye.

 Cook the Shrimp & Sauce

In a large skillet, melt the butter and sauté the garlic until fragrant. Add the shrimp and cook for 2 minutes per side. Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan, mozzarella, Italian seasoning, paprika, spinach, and diced red pepper until smooth and creamy for the best creamy garlic sauce, quick weeknight dinner, and seafood pasta favorite.

 Toss the Pasta

Add the cooked fettuccine to the sauce, tossing until every strand is coated. Use a splash of reserved pasta water if needed, then sprinkle in fresh parsley for an easy gourmet meal, luxury dinner at home, and restaurant-quality pasta.

 Plate & Serve

Slice the ribeye against the grain and serve beside the creamy shrimp fettuccine. Finish with extra Parmesan and parsley for the ultimate surf and turf, special occasion dinner, and family favorite meal.
