Instructions
1) Combine dry seasonings. Drizzle olive oil over the salmon and shrimp, and season both with 2 tbsp of the seasoning. 2) Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tbsp olive oil. Sear the salmon for 2 min. per side, baste with 2 tbsp butter, and set aside. Then, cook the shrimp for 1 min. per side and set aside. (Both will finish cooking in the oven.) 3) Turn the heat down to medium and preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Add 2 tbsp butter to the pan along with the onion and garlic. Sauté 1 min., then add the orzo and remaining seasoning blend. 4) Toast the orzo ensuring it’s fully coated by the butter in the pan. Deglaze with white wine (optional), stir until the wine is absorbed, then add the chicken stock. 5) Once the liquid reduces by about half, add the heavy cream. 6) Bring everything to a simmer, then stir in the wet jerk seasoning (optional) and most of the pecorino romano cheese (reserve some for topping). 7) Add the grape tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, and spinach. Stir it in until the spinach begins to wilt. 8) Add the salmon and shrimp back to the pan atop the orzo. Top with the remaining pecorino romano cheese and parsley. 9) Place the Creamy Tuscan Salmon & Shrimp Orzo in the oven and bake for 10-15 min. Let it rest for 5 min. before serving.View original recipe
