Instructions:
Prepare the Cajun Seasoning: In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, oregano, thyme, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Season the Seafood: Rub the Cajun seasoning evenly over both sides of the salmon fillets and the shrimp.
Cook the Salmon: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon fillets, skin-side down, and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and has a nice sear. Remove the salmon from the skillet and keep warm.
Cook the Shrimp: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook them.
Serve: Arrange the cooked salmon and shrimp on a serving platter. Garnish with lemon slices and fresh parsley.
This dish pairs wonderfully with a side of rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad!
