Ingredients

• 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
• 12 pieces Large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.75 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 2 tablespoons Parsley (chopped, for garnish)
• 1 piece Lemon (sliced into wedges)
• 2 cups Cooked pasta or steamed vegetables (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the tilapia fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with 0.5 teaspoon of salt, 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper, and paprika.

Step 2

Season the shrimp with the remaining 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add tilapia fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked (the fish should flake easily with a fork). Remove from skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and opaque. Remove from skillet and set aside alongside the tilapia.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

Step 6

Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, then gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.

Step 7

Return the cooked tilapia and shrimp to the skillet, spooning the Alfredo sauce over the top. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side. Pair with cooked pasta or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
