Directions:

1. Season the Steak: Season the sirloin steak with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

5. Make the Cream Sauce: In the same skillet, add the heavy cream, chicken broth, and Parmesan cheese. Stir well and cook until the sauce thickens slightly.
6. Combine: Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat them in the sauce. Cook for another 2 minutes until the shrimp are heated through.
7. Serve: Slice the rested steak and serve it topped with the creamy shrimp and sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley.
