Method

Marinate Proteins

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, bourbon, minced garlic, minced ginger, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Mix well until sugar is dissolved.

  2. 2

    Marinate Chicken

    Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.

  3. 3

    Marinate Shrimp

    In a separate bowl, add the shrimp to the remaining marinade. Cover and refrigerate for about 15-30 minutes.

Cook the Proteins

  1. 4

    Cook Chicken

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and discard excess marinade. Cook the chicken for about 7-8 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  2. 5

    Cook Shrimp

    In the same skillet, add the shrimp (discarding any remaining marinade). Cook for about 2-3 minutes until pink and opaque. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Sauté Vegetables

  1. 6

    Sauté Onions and Peppers

    In the same skillet, add a little oil if necessary and sauté the sliced onion and green bell pepper over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until they are soft and slightly caramelized.

  2. 7

    Add Remaining Garlic

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Combine and Serve

  1. 8

    Combine All Ingredients

    Return the cooked chicken and shrimp to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Toss everything together to combine and heat through for 2-3 minutes.

  2. 9

    Garnish and Serve

    Transfer the Bourbon Street Chicken & Shrimp to a serving platter. Garnish with sliced green onions and chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot.
