🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️

Cajun Cream Sauce:
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- Fresh parsley, chopped
- Lemon wedges

Grits:
- 4 cups chicken broth or water
- 1 cup stone-ground grits
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- Salt & pepper

Seafood:
- 1 Salmon red fillet
- 1/2 lb shrimp, peeled & deveined
- 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt & pepper

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳
1. Begin by boiling chicken broth in a large pot. Gradually stir in the grits and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Mix in the heavy cream, butter, and season with salt and pepper.
2. While the grits are cooking, season the salmon fillet and shrimp with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the salmon for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Remove and set aside. In the same skillet, cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side.
3. For the Cajun cream sauce, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth, heavy cream, and Cajun seasoning. Let the sauce simmer until it thickens slightly, then stir in the grated Parmesan cheese.
4. To assemble the dish, spoon the creamy grits onto plates. Top with the cooked salmon, shrimp, and a generous drizzle of Cajun cream sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
