To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 1/2 pound of shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/2 pound of scallops
- 1/2 cup of cornmeal
- 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon of paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
- 1/4 cup of vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup of butter
- 1/2 cup of diced onion
- 1/2 cup of diced green bell pepper
- 1/2 cup of diced red bell pepper
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup of chicken broth
- 1/2 cup of heavy cream
- 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley
- Lemon wedges, for serving

To start, mix the cornmeal, flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper in a shallow dish. Dredge the shrimp and scallops in the mixture, shaking off any excess.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and scallops and cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the seafood from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and garlic. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
Add the chicken broth and heavy cream to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Cook until the sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes.
Return the shrimp and scallops to the skillet and stir to coat with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the seafood is heated through.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
This Southern-Style Seafood Skillet is a perfect combination of crispy seafood and creamy sauce. The dish is rich in flavor and has a slightly spicy kick from the cayenne pepper. The colorful vegetables add a nice crunch to the dish, while the heavy cream gives it a smooth and velvety texture.
