Cajun Salmon and Shrimp: A Spicy, Flavor-Packed Seafood Delight

Pat the salmon fillets and shrimp dry with paper towels. This helps them sear properly.
Season the salmon and shrimp with Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Make sure to coat them evenly on both sides.
Cook the Salmon:

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the salmon fillets, skin side down (if applicable), and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until golden brown and cooked through (the salmon should flake easily with a fork).
Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
Cook the Shrimp:

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook them.
Combine and Serve:

Once both the salmon and shrimp are cooked, return the salmon to the skillet, gently spooning the shrimp around the fillets.
Drizzle fresh lemon juice over the seafood for a bright, zesty flavor.
Garnish and Enjoy:

Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra citrusy burst.
