Creamy Garlic Butter Shrimp & Seared Salmon 🦐🐟 This restaurant-worthy skillet features perfectly seared salmon and juicy shrimp coated in a rich, creamy garlic butter sauce. It's an easy yet elegant meal that's perfect for weeknights or special occasions. 🛒 Ingredients 2 salmon fillets 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined Salt and black pepper, to taste 1 tsp paprika 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp onion powder 1 tsp dried parsley or Italian seasoning 2 tbsp olive oil 3 tbsp butter 4–5 garlic cloves, minced 1 cup heavy cream ½ cup chicken or seafood broth Optional: Red pepper flakes or Cajun seasoning for extra heat 👩‍🍳 Instructions Pat the salmon dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley or Italian seasoning. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon for 4–5 minutes per side, or until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate. Reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter in the same skillet. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add the shrimp, season lightly with salt and pepper, and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, just until pink and opaque. Pour in the broth and heavy cream, stirring well. Let the sauce simmer for 3–5 minutes until it begins to thicken. Return the salmon to the skillet and spoon the creamy garlic butter sauce over the fillets. Simmer for another 1–2 minutes to heat everything through. Serve immediately with plenty of the creamy sauce spooned over the salmon and shrimp. 💡 Tips Add a pinch of Cajun seasoning or red pepper flakes for a spicy kick. Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, pasta, or with crusty bread to soak up the sauce. Finish with freshly grated Parmesan or a squeeze of lemon juice for extra flavor. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheat gently over low heat. Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 20 minutes Total Time: 30 minutes Servings: 2–3 — @amberrecipes TikTok
