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.
2. Season the Seafood: Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning on the salmon fillets and shrimp, ensuring they are evenly coated.
3. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
4. Sauté Vegetables: Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
5. Cook the Salmon: Push the vegetables to the side and place the salmon fillets in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
6. Sauté the Shrimp: In the same skillet, add the shrimp and cook for about 3 minutes until pink and opaque.
7. Add Garlic and Broth: Stir in the minced garlic and chicken broth. Allow it to simmer for 1-2 minutes.
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.
