Delicious Salmon and Shrimp with Cajun Cream Sauce 🍣🍤
This creamy Cajun delight is the perfect way to elevate your dinner plans! Easy to make and bursting with flavor, it’s a meal that will impress your taste buds.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 salmon fillets
- 10 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 onion, finely chopped
- Cooked pasta or rice, for serving
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Begin by seasoning the salmon fillets and shrimp with Cajun seasoning, along with a sprinkle of salt and pepper to taste. Make sure they are evenly coated to enhance the flavors.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillets skin-side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Once done, remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
3. In the same skillet, add the shrimp. Cook them for 1-2 minutes on each side until they are pink and opaque. Once cooked, transfer the shrimp to the plate with the salmon.
4. Now, in the same skillet, toss in the minced garlic and finely chopped onion. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes, stirring often, until the onions become translucent and aromatic.
5. Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts and the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
6. Carefully return both the salmon and shrimp to the skillet, coating them in the creamy sauce. Allow everything to simmer together for another minute to blend the flavors.
7. Serve this delicious salmon and shrimp with the rich Cajun cream sauce over your choice of cooked pasta or rice. Don’t forget to garnish with freshly chopped parsley for that vibrant touch!
