Creating Cajun Creamy Delight Salmon and Shrimp is a breeze with these easy-to-follow steps:

1. Prepare the Ingredients: Start by gathering all the ingredients. Chop the onion, bell pepper, and green onions.

8. Make It Creamy: Reduce the heat to low and add the heavy cream, stirring well to combine all the flavors.
9. Combine Seafood: Return the salmon to the skillet with the creamy mixture and gently place the shrimp back as well. Let it warm through for 2-3 minutes.
10. Finish with Lemon: Stir in the lemon juice, adjusting the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
11. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped green onions and parsley for an added touch before serving.
