Ingredients
Scale
- 2 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 4 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp butter
- ¼ cup chicken broth
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp smoked paprika
- 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled & chunked
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ cup butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions
- To begin, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the peeled and chunked russet potatoes and let them cook until tender, which typically takes around 15 to 20 minutes.
- Next, it’s time to focus on the seafood. Start by patting the salmon fillets and shrimp dry using a paper towel; this helps achieve a nice sear when cooking.
- Using the same skillet, let’s make that luscious garlic cream sauce! Start by melting another tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
- While the seafood finishes cooking, blanch the green beans in a separate pot of boiling salted water for about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Now comes the exciting part—plating your meal!
Notes
Always taste and adjust the seasoning in your dishes! It’s the best way to achieve flavor perfection.
