Instructions:
Step 1:
Combine all blackening seasoning in a small bowl.
Step 2:
Generously season the salmon with the blackening seasoning on all sides. Rub it down to make sure it sticks to the salmon. On the skin side, sprinkle a little bit of salt.
Step 3:
Place the shrimp into a bowl then season with 2 teaspoons of blackening seasoning. Mix everything and then set it aside and let it marinate.
Step 4:
Place a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat then add oil. Once hot, add the salmon skin side down. Cook for about 6 minutes and make sure not to move it during that time. Flip then cook the other side for about 5 minutes. Next, cook the sides for about 2 minutes each. Transfer to a plate.
Step 5:
In the same pan, cook the shrimp for one minute on each side over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and mix with the shrimp.
Step 6:
In a different clean pan, add 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 teaspoons of minced garlic. Saute for about 30 seconds. Next, add a little bit of white wine or chicken broth and let it cook for about 30 seconds. Pour 3/4 cup of heavy cream and add a pinch of blackening seasoning, 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese, and parsley. Mix everything until well combined.
Step 7:
Add the shrimp to the sauce. Mix until everything is well-coated.
Step 8:
Place the cauliflower into a bowl then add a cup of water. Put in the microwave for 15 minutes. Once cooked, place in the food processor and add the other ingredients. Blend until smooth.
