Prepare the Steak:
Season the steak with Cajun seasoning.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the steak for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust for your preferred doneness). Set aside to rest.
Cook the Shrimp:
Melt butter in the same skillet and cook shrimp for 1–2 minutes per side until pink. Remove and set aside.

Add Parmesan cheese and stir until melted. Finish with lemon juice and parsley.
Assemble:
Return the shrimp to the sauce and coat them well.
Pour the sauce over the rested steak and serve immediately.
