Garlic Chicken and Shrimp

Garlic Chicken and Shrimp shouldn’t work as a flavor combination, but I am here to tell you that it does! In fact, it’s amazing – juicy shrimp, tender chicken and pungent garlic combine to make a quick and delicious midweek meal.

Start by pounding the chicken breasts to flatten them. Then peel and devein the prawns which is a messy job, but not as difficult as it sounds. Simply peel off the shell and slide a small sharp knife down the back of each shrimp. Cook the chicken and shrimp in melted butter and add basil, parsley and seasoning. Yum!

To make my Garlic Chicken and Shrimp, you will need the following ingredients:
