Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
- 12 pieces Large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.75 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- 1 piece Lemon (sliced into wedges)
- 2 cups Cooked pasta or steamed vegetables (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Pat the tilapia fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with 0.5 teaspoon of salt, 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper, and paprika.
Season the shrimp with the remaining 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add tilapia fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked (the fish should flake easily with a fork). Remove from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and opaque. Remove from skillet and set aside alongside the tilapia.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, then gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
Return the cooked tilapia and shrimp to the skillet, spooning the Alfredo sauce over the top. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side. Pair with cooked pasta or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
