Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by rinsing the deveined shrimp and salmon under cold water. Pat them dry with a towel, then generously coat them with Cajun seasoning. Set aside to let the spices blend.
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp and set aside. Add salmon skin-side down, cooking for 4-5 minutes until it flakes easily.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and add minced garlic to the pan. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring well, and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
- Return the sautéed shrimp and salmon to the skillet, allowing them to soak up the sauce. Stir carefully to coat evenly, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until everything is warmed through.
- While the sauce and seafood cook, boil water in a pot, add the peeled and diced potatoes. Cook for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender. Drain, add butter and a splash of milk, then mash until creamy and fluffy.
- In another pot, boil water for green beans. Add them and cook for about 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and toss with a pinch of salt and drizzle of olive oil.
- Plate the mashed potatoes on each dish, top with Cajun shrimp and salmon, drizzling rich garlic cream sauce over. Serve green beans alongside for an inviting presentation.
