-4 tbsp of butter
-1 lb of green beans

Once hot, add the shrimp and salmon. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the shrimp turn pink and the salmon is cooked through.

For the garlic sautéed green beans, trim the ends of the green beans and add them to a pan with a little bit of oil and sauté for 2-3 minutes or until they are tender. Add garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes.
To serve, place the cooked shrimp and salmon on a plate, pour the buttery garlic cream sauce over the top, and serve with a side of creamy mashed potatoes and garlic sautéed green beans. This recipe is easy to make, packed with flavor, and sure to be a hit with the whole family. Enjoy!
