Catfish

Cream Sauce

Shrimp Topping

Method

Preparing the Catfish

  1. 1

    Season the Catfish

    Pat the catfish fillets dry with a paper towel. Rub each fillet with blackening seasoning on both sides.

  2. 2

    Cook the Catfish

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned catfish fillets and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is blackened and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Making the Cream Sauce

  1. 3

    Sauté the Garlic

    In the same skillet used for the catfish, reduce heat to medium and melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  2. 4

    Prepare the Sauce

    Pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Bring to a simmer and gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, continuing to stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Add lemon juice, salt, and black pepper, mixing well.

Cooking the Shrimp

  1. 5

    Sauté the Shrimp

    In a separate pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the gulf shrimp and sprinkle with Old Bay seasoning. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Plate the Dish

    Place the blackened catfish fillets on a serving plate. Spoon the cream sauce generously over the fillets and top with the sautéed shrimp.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.
