Shrimp and Cod in Creamy Garlic Sauce

Prepare the seafood:

Pat shrimp and cod dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

Cook the aromatics:

Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add shallot and sauté until soft and fragrant. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.

Add liquid base:

Pour in the white wine (or seafood stock) and let it simmer for 2–3 minutes to reduce slightly.

Add the cream:

Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook until the sauce begins to thicken slightly (3–4 minutes).

Cook the seafood:

Add cod chunks first and cook for 3–4 minutes. Then add shrimp and cook another 2–3 minutes, until shrimp turn pink and cod flakes easily.

Finish the dish:

Add lemon juice, chopped parsley, and a sprinkle of Parmesan if desired. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

Serve immediately:

Serve hot over rice, pasta, or with crusty bread to soak up the sauce.

Description

The finished dish features flaky, tender cod and juicy shrimp bathed in a creamy, garlicky sauce with a hint of citrus and herbs. The sauce is rich yet balanced — buttery, fragrant, and irresistibly smooth. Every bite brings a harmony of textures and flavors: mild sweetness from the seafood, savory depth from garlic and cream, and freshness from parsley and lemon.
