Cajun Shrimp and Salmon with Garlic Cream Sauce: An Incredible 7-Ingredient Recipe

Ingredients

– 2 salmon fillets
– 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
– 3 tablespoons Cajun seasoning (adjust according to preference)
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Creating Cajun Shrimp and Salmon with Garlic Cream Sauce is as easy as following these simple steps:

1. Season the Seafood: Sprinkle Cajun seasoning generously over both sides of the salmon fillets and shrimp. Allow them to sit for about 5 minutes to let the flavors absorb.

2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

3. Cook the Salmon: Once the oil is hot, add the salmon fillets, skin-side down, and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.

4. Sauté the Shrimp: In the same skillet, add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp and set aside with the salmon.

5. Make the Garlic Cream Sauce: Lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

6. Add the Cream: Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

7. Combine Seafood with Sauce: Return the cooked shrimp and salmon to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Simmer for an additional minute to heat everything through.

8. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the heat and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for garnish.

By following these straightforward steps, you’ll have a stunning and flavorful dish ready to be savored.
