Instructions

Prepare the Steak:

a. Take the ribeye steaks out of the fridge and allow them to come to room temperature (about 30 minutes).

b. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels, then rub them with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, dried oregano, and cayenne pepper. Ensure an even coating on both sides.

Cook the Steak:

a. Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.

b. Once hot, add the steaks and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare (adjust time based on thickness and desired doneness).

c. Once cooked, remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Prepare the Cajun Shrimp:

a. In the same pan, melt the butter over medium heat.

b. Add the sliced red bell pepper and sauté for 2 minutes until slightly tender.

c. Add the shrimp, remaining cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through.

d. Add the halved cherry tomatoes and green onions, cooking for an additional minute until heated through.
