Creamy Garlic Salmon and Shrimp is one of my all-time favorite weeknight meals. Made with tons of garlic, spinach, and cream in under 30 minutes!
I love easy salmon recipes including Pan Seared Lemon Butter Salmon and Creamy Lemon Salmon!
Probably the easiest creamy garlic salmon and shrimp recipe you’ll ever make! Restaurant quality meal that also happens to be my all-time favorite salmon recipe.
Whether you’re on the lookout for a quick and simple meal or a meal that will impress your entire family, this is the recipe you want to try! I love serving this creamy salmon and shrimp over jasmine rice or creamy mashed potatoes.
Although some fettuccine would be marvelous as well! Go ahead and add as many veggies as you’d like. Mushrooms, green peas, and zucchini would make great additions.

One of my favorite salmon and shrimp recipes my family and friends loved it
Will be making it again 😋😋😋😛
Just made this for the wife. She totally loved it. Great recipe
So glad she enjoyed it! Thank you for the feedback.
I would add sun dried tomatoes for the extra taste and color! Otherwise, perfection!
This is a really yummy recipe. We have had it twice in the last month. The only thing I do different is I use Cajun seasoning on the seafood instead of salt and pepper and that’s only due to my personal preference. Other than that I follow the recipe exactly and it comes out perfect!
Thank you, Nicole. So glad you enjoyed it! Also, I’ll be giving your version a try next time 🙂
This recipe is great. The first time I made it I discovered I did not have any parmesan cheese, so I just left that out. I was a little worried it would be weird, but it was quite nice. The second time I made it I made sure I had the cheese and it was great . . . changed the character of the sauce a bit . . made it a bit heavier. I think next time I make it I will double the spinach . . . I highly recommend this.
Thank you, Emily. So glad you enjoyed it. I love adding lots of spinach and mushrooms too.
