Ingredients

Main Ingredients

• 1 lb white fish fillets (cod, tilapia, or haddock), cut into chunks
• 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• Salt and black pepper, to taste

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• ½ cup chicken broth
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp dried parsley

For Serving (Optional)

• Fresh parsley, chopped
• Lemon wedges

Instructions

1. Season the seafood
   Pat the shrimp and fish dry. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of dried thyme. Set aside.
2. Sauté the seafood
   Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
   Add shrimp and fish in a single layer (work in batches if needed).
   Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until shrimp turns pink and fish is lightly golden.
   Remove seafood from the skillet and set aside.
3. Build the sauce
   In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Create the cream base
   Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir well, scraping up any flavorful bits from the pan.
5. Add cheese and herbs
   Stir in Parmesan cheese, dried parsley, and remaining thyme. Simmer for 3–5 minutes until slightly thickened.
6. Combine everything
   Return the cooked shrimp and fish to the skillet. Gently spoon sauce over the seafood and simmer for 2–3 minutes until heated through.
7. Finish & serve
   Taste and adjust seasoning. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges if desired.

Additional Notes

• Best Fish Choices: Firm white fish works best so it doesn’t fall apart.
• Make It Lighter: Use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
• Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently.
