Ingredients
Scale
Seafood Ingredients:
- 2 salmon fillets
- 12 medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
Seasoning for Seafood:
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter
Corn Ingredients:
- 2 ears of corn, husked
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Instructions
- Prepare the salmon fillets by generously coating them with a blend of olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and freshly ground black pepper, ensuring even coverage across the surface.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and carefully place the seasoned salmon, cooking for 3-4 minutes on each side until the fish becomes delicately flaky and develops a golden-brown exterior.
- In a separate skillet, melt butter and sauté minced garlic for 30-45 seconds, releasing its aromatic essence and creating a fragrant base for the shrimp.
- Add raw shrimp to the garlic-infused butter, sprinkling paprika over them for a subtle warmth and vibrant color, then cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they transform into a pristine pink and become completely opaque.
- Select fresh corn and submerge in a pot of salted boiling water, allowing them to simmer for 7-9 minutes until tender and bright.
- Transfer the cooked corn to a baking sheet, lavishly brush with melted butter, and generously scatter shredded cheddar cheese across the surface.
- Position the corn under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully as the cheese melts and develops a lightly golden, bubbling crust.
- Sprinkle finely chopped parsley over the corn for a touch of freshness and color.
- Artfully arrange the perfectly cooked salmon, succulent shrimp, and cheesy corn on a serving platter, creating a visually appealing and appetizing feast.
Notes
- Always pat salmon and shrimp dry before cooking to ensure a perfect golden-brown sear and prevent steaming.
- Use fresh seafood and check for any scales or shells to prevent unexpected crunch during dining.
- Consider using a meat thermometer to check salmon’s internal temperature reaches 145°F for safe consumption and optimal texture.
- For a lighter version, replace butter with olive oil and use reduced-fat cheddar cheese to create a healthier meal option.
