Recipe: Creamy Garlic Seafood Skillet
Ingredients
-
Seafood: 1 lb white fish fillets cut into chunks (like cod or halibut) and 1/2 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
-
Searing: 2 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp olive oil
-
Sauce:
-
1 cup heavy cream
-
1/2 cup chicken broth or vegetable broth
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
Salt and black pepper to taste
-
-
Garnish: Fresh chopped parsley
Instructions
-
Sear the Seafood: Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the fish chunks and shrimp with salt and pepper. Add them to the skillet and sear until lightly browned and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside on a plate.
-
Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
-
Simmer: Pour in the broth and heavy cream, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
-
Combine: Return the cooked fish and shrimp back into the skillet, spooning the rich cream sauce over them. Let it warm through for 1 to 2 minutes.
-
Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley and serve warm right from the skillet or alongside extra dipping sauce.
