There is almost nothing that I love more than salmon.
Salmon tastes amazing and it is actually pretty easy to cook! Plus it is so healthy! (Maybe not when you put lemon cream sauce on it though 😉 Oh well! It is still delicious!
I used to not like shrimp very much but lately it has been one of my favorites! And paired with salmon and a cajun rub – YUM!
Even my 10 month old loved it! My two year old isn’t fond of almost any meat but he did have a little bit too! And I will call that a win any day!

I can’t wait to make this again! It was so good and my family raved about it. Share if you love it and pin it for later!
These flavors sound great. We eat more chicken than seafood. How do you think this would be on chicken?
