For the Sautéed Spinach:

For the Mashed Yukon Potatoes:
🥔 4 large Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
🧈 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
🥛 1/2 cup milk or cream
🧂 1/2 teaspoon salt
🥄 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Directions:
1️⃣ Prepare the Mashed Potatoes:
In a large pot, bring the cubed Yukon Gold potatoes 🥔 to a boil in salted water. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return the potatoes to the pot. Add the butter 🧈, milk or cream 🥛, salt 🧂, and black pepper 🥄. Mash until smooth and creamy. Keep warm.
2️⃣ Cook the Steak:
Season the steaks 🥩 with salt 🧂 and black pepper 🥄. Heat olive oil 🥄 in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer for desired doneness. Add the minced garlic 🧄 and butter 🧈 during the last minute of cooking, spooning the melted butter over the steaks. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest.
3️⃣ Prepare the Creamy Cajun Shrimp:
In the same skillet, melt the butter 🧈 over medium heat. Add the shrimp 🍤 and season with Cajun seasoning 🌶️ and salt 🧂. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Add the minced garlic 🧄 and cook for another minute. Pour in the heavy cream 🥛 and Parmesan cheese 🧀, stirring until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
4️⃣ Sauté the Spinach:
In a separate skillet, melt the butter 🧈 over medium heat. Add the minced garlic 🧄 and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the fresh spinach 🥬 and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
5️⃣ Serve:
Plate the seared steaks 🥩 alongside a generous portion of mashed Yukon potatoes 🥔. Top the steaks with the creamy Cajun shrimp 🍤 and serve with sautéed spinach 🥬 on the side. Enjoy this indulgent, restaurant-quality meal at home! 😋
