Hey friends! Looking for a delicious and easy weeknight meal? This Cajun Salmon & Shrimp in Creamy Garlic Herb Sauce is perfect for a cozy evening in. It’s packed with flavor, gentle on the digestion, and ready in under 30 minutes!

**Ingredients:**

* 1 lb salmon fillet, skin on or off (cut into 4 portions)
* 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
* 2 tbsp olive oil
* 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning (adjust to taste, choose a low-sodium option if needed)
* 4 cloves garlic, minced
* 1/2 cup heavy cream (or full-fat coconut milk for a dairy-free option)
* 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
* 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives
* Salt and pepper to taste

**Instructions:**

1. **Season the seafood:** Gently pat the salmon and shrimp dry with paper towels. Season both generously with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
2. **Sauté the garlic:** Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic!
3. **Cook the seafood:** Add the salmon to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque.
4. **Make the sauce:** Pour in the heavy cream (or coconut milk) and stir to combine with any leftover bits in the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened.
5. **Combine and serve:** Stir in the parsley and chives. Return the salmon to the skillet and gently toss to coat everything in the creamy sauce. Serve immediately over rice, quinoa, or your favorite vegetables.
