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

  • Total Time: 13 minute

Ingredients

– 2 salmon fillets (fresh or thawed)
– 1 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
– 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
– 4 cloves garlic (minced)
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 tablespoon butter
– 1 teaspoon lemon juice
– Salt and black pepper (to taste)
– Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

Creating Cajun Shrimp and Salmon with Garlic Cream Sauce is simple when you follow these clear steps:

1. Season Seafood: Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning evenly over the salmon fillets and shrimp. Ensure every surface is coated for maximum flavor.
2. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Wait until the oil shimmers before proceeding.
3. Cook Salmon: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté Shrimp: In the same skillet, add shrimp. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from the skillet and set aside with the salmon.
5. Prepare Garlic Sauce: Lower the heat and add butter to the skillet. Stir in minced garlic, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.
6. Add Cream: Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine, bringing it to a simmer. Add lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to taste. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
7. Combine Seafood: Return the cooked salmon and shrimp to the skillet, gently stirring to coat in the garlic cream sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.
