Instruction on How to Make a Perfect Steak in Creamy Cajun Shrimp Sauce

2. Reduce the heat to medium, add the butter, and let it melt before adding the shrimp and cooking until just pink on both sides, about 1-2 minutes per side, and set aside.
3. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about a minute.
4. Add the broth and deglaze the pan by scraping up any brown bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon as the broth sizzles.
5. Add the cream, mix in the Dijon mustard and cajun seasoning, bring to a boil, and let simmer for a minute.
6. Mix in the cheese and let it melt into the sauce.
7. Mix in the lemon juice, parsley, and shrimp, and serve over the steaks!
