Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 pound salmon, cut into fillets

- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, pour in the olive oil and let it warm up. While the oil heats, season the shrimp and salmon generously with Cajun seasoning.
- Place the salmon fillets in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the salmon and set aside.

- Return both the shrimp and salmon to the skillet, ensuring they are well-coated in the creamy sauce.
- Serve immediately, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
Notes
For a lighter version, you can use half-and-half instead of heavy cream. To customize, try adding a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
