Cook the Pasta:
Cook fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the Proteins:
In a medium bowl, toss the steak pieces with 1/2 tbsp Cajun seasoning.
In another bowl, season the shrimp with 1/2 tbsp Cajun seasoning.
Cook the Steak:

In the skillet, melt 2 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and remaining Cajun seasoning, stirring until smooth and thickened, 2-3 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
