Dave got the idea for this Chicken Shrimp Medley watching an Italian cooking show about ten years ago.
We've been embellishing upon, and seriously enjoying it, since. The original recipe, the best Dave can remember, was a simple stir fry. Since then, we've added sherry, shitake mushrooms and a few other things. From our experience, you might find this simple chicken and shrimp dish a regular addition to your menu.
New Italian Recipes Presents: Chicken And Shrimp Medley Ingredients:
Preparation Heat olive oil in sauté pan over medium heat. Sauté chicken until just browned. Add shrimp and cook until pink, 3-4 minutes. Remove from the heat, and place the chicken and shrimp in a bowl to add back in later. Deglaze the pan with a T of wine or sherry. Scrape up browned bits and leave them in pan. (This is good, flavorful stuff.) Add the mushrooms and shallots, and more olive oil, if necessary. Sauté about one minute. Add sherry, tomatoes and chicken stock, butter, salt and pepper and reduce the liquid by 1/3 or so. Add the shrimp and chicken back in and simmer for 5 or 6 minutes. The sauce should be fairly thick from the flour remains by this time. Makes about 4 servings, (but only two if Dave is one of them!) Serve this culinarily sensual chicken and shrimp medley with an Italian herbed rice pilaf. I wish I could tell you how good of a dish this simple recipe produces, but words do not do justice. You’ll know when you taste it. Killer good! Buon appetito always!
