Cook the Pasta:
Boil the pasta in salted water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving ½ cup of pasta water.
Prepare the Steak and Shrimp:
Season the steak cubes with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the steak cubes for 2-3 minutes per side until cooked to your desired doneness. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, sauté shrimp with garlic, salt, and pepper for 2-3 minutes until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside.
Make the Alfredo Sauce:
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute).
Stir in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Gradually whisk in Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth.
Add Italian seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper to taste. If the sauce is too thick, stir in reserved pasta water.
Combine and Serve:
Toss the cooked pasta in the Alfredo sauce until evenly coated. Plate the pasta and top with seared steak and shrimp.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with grilled flatbread if desired.
This Surf and Turf Alfredo Pasta is a luxurious dish combining creamy, garlicky pasta with tender steak and juicy shrimp!
