# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add penne pasta and cook until al dente according to package instructions. Reserve 1 cup pasta water before draining. Set pasta aside.
02 - Season shrimp evenly with 1 teaspoon blackened seasoning. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large 13-inch skillet over medium heat. Cook shrimp for 1-2 minutes per side until just cooked through. Transfer to a plate and tent to keep warm.
03 - Season sirloin cubes evenly with 1 teaspoon blackened seasoning. Increase skillet heat to high and add ¼ cup unsalted butter, melting completely. Add steak cubes and sear for 1-2 minutes per side until browned outside and pink inside. Transfer to plate with shrimp and tent to keep warm.
04 - Reduce heat to medium. Add diced onion to skillet and cook 3-5 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook 1 minute more. Stir in heavy cream, ¼ to ½ cup reserved pasta water, grated parmesan, 1 tablespoon blackened seasoning, kosher salt, and black pepper. Stir continuously until cheese melts and sauce thickens slightly.
05 - Add cooked penne to skillet with sauce and toss to coat evenly. Adjust sauce consistency with reserved pasta water as needed. Top with cooked shrimp and steak. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
