• 1 teaspoon of basil

• 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon of onion powder

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.
