Surf & Turf in Creamy Cajun Sauce
Ingredients
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 5 ounces steak
- 7 ounces shrimp
- 10.5 ounces cauliflower
- 1/2 tbsp butter
- 1/4 cup veg broth
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1/2 tsp cajun seasoning
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 TBSP reduced fat parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- Sprinkle parsley
Directions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the steaks and sear until lightly browned on both sides and cooked to the desired level of doneness, before setting aside.
- 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.
- In a separate small pot, add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about a minute.
- Add the vegetable broth and deglaze the pan by scraping up any brown bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon as the broth sizzles.
- Add the almond milk, mix in the dijon mustard and cajun seasoning, bring to a low boil and let simmer for a minute.
- Mix in the cheese and let it melt into the sauce.
- Mix in the lemon juice, parsley and shrimp then set aside.
- Place cauliflower florets (uncooked) into blender or food processor. Once riced, add to frying pan and steam with a small amount of water.
- Plate the rice then add steak and creamy shrimp sauce and serve!
