Prepare the Lemon Herb Cream Sauce:

In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and garlic. Sauté until fragrant. Stir in the heavy cream, lemon juice, parsley, and basil. Cook until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

While preparing the sauce, cook the angel hair pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Combine and Serve:

Slice the blackened steaks and add them along with the shrimp to the skillet with the lemon herb cream sauce. Toss in the cooked angel hair pasta until well-coated with the sauce. Garnish with lemon zest and fresh parsley before serving.
