Season shrimp evenly with blackened seasoning. Heat oil in a 13-inch skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and tent to keep warm.

Season steak evenly with blackened seasoning. Increase heat to high, add butter to the skillet, and allow it to start to melt. Add steak and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until browned outside and pink inside. Transfer to the plate with shrimp and tent to keep warm.

Reduce heat to medium. Add onions to the skillet and cook until softened (3-5 minutes). Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in heavy cream, ¼ to ½ cup of pasta water, parmesan cheese, blackened seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly.
