👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Potatoes First: Boil the potatoes in salted water for 15–20 minutes. Drain, add butter, milk, and garlic, then mash until creamy and fluffy. 🥔🌪️🥛
  2. Prep the Beans: In a skillet, sauté green beans in olive oil over medium heat for 5–7 minutes until tender-crisp. Season and set aside. 🌿🔥⏲️
  3. Sear the Salmon: Season salmon with paprika, salt, and pepper. In a large skillet, sear the salmon in 1 tbsp butter for 4–5 minutes per side until golden. Remove and keep warm. 🐟🍳🔥
  4. Cook the Shrimp: In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and garlic. Toss in the shrimp and cook for 2–3 minutes until pink and opaque. 🍤🧄🧈
  5. The Lemon Butter Sauce: Pour fresh lemon juice over the shrimp and stir for 1 minute, scraping up all those delicious pan bits. 🍋🌊🤤

  7. Final Touch: Drizzle that extra garlic lemon butter from the pan over everything and garnish with fresh parsley. 🌿🍋‍🟩😋

🔥 Pro Tips:

  • The “Perfect Salmon” Secret: Don’t move the salmon once it hits the pan! Let it sit for 4 minutes to get that beautiful, crispy golden crust. 🐟🛡️💎
  • Creamier Mash: For extra-smooth potatoes, use a potato ricer instead of a traditional masher! 🥔🎯✨
