For the filling
  • 1 lb Salmon fillet Fresh or thawed if frozen
  • 1 lb Peeled, deveined shrimp Use fresh or frozen
  • 4 large Bell peppers Red or yellow preferred for sweetness
  • 1 cup Alfredo sauce Homemade or jarred
  • 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese Optional, can use dairy-free alternative
  • 2 cups Small pasta (small shells or penne) Optional, adds bulk
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun or blackening seasoning Store-bought is fine

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the bell peppers by cutting the tops off and removing the seeds.
  3. In a skillet over medium-high heat, add the Cajun seasoning and blacken the salmon fillet, cooking for about 5 minutes on each side, until cooked through.
  4. Remove the salmon from the skillet and add the shrimp, cooking for no more than 2 minutes until pink and opaque.
  5. Flake the cooked salmon into bite-sized pieces.
Assembly
  1. In a large bowl, combine the flaked salmon, cooked shrimp, Alfredo sauce, and cooked pasta.
  2. Stuff the mixture into the prepared bell peppers generously, allowing for some spill-over.
Baking
  1. Place the filled peppers in a baking dish and cover with foil.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
  3. Uncover, sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top, and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.

Notes

Get everything prepared beforehand to avoid smoke from the blackening seasoning. Use big, sturdy bell peppers for best results.
