Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 quarts chicken stock
1 large pinch saffron threads
Extra-virgin olive oil, for coating
4 ounces Spanish or Mexican chorizo, diced
2 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, diced into 1-inch pieces
4 cloves garlic, smashed
2 stalks celery, diced
1 yellow onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
1 tomato, diced
1/2 cup fresh peas
2 cups Bomba rice
12 littleneck clams
6 large shrimp, cleaned, head and tail left on, shells reserved
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
4 cloves garlic, smashed
2 large egg yolks
1 cup canola oil
Kosher salt
1 small bunch chives, sliced

Steps:

  • For the paella: Add the chicken stock, saffron threads and shrimp shells to a medium saucepan and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, coat the paella pans generously with olive oil. Add the chorizo, dividing it between the two pans. Set the pans over medium-low heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the fat has rendered and the chorizo is crispy, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the chicken to the pans and season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is beginning to brown, but isn't cooked all the way through.
  • Add the garlic, celery, onions, peppers and tomato to a food processor and pulse until chopped into a coarse paste. Add to the paella pans and cook until all of the liquid has evaporated and the veggies are soft and slightly caramelized, about 10 minutes. Add the peas and cook 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add about 1/2 cup of the stock to each pan and stir, making sure to scrape up the fond from the bottom of the pans. Season to taste with salt. Add about another cup of the stock to each pan, then bring the liquid to a boil.
  • Add the rice and stir until thoroughly combined. Nestle the clams into the rice and cook for 5 minutes. Nestle the shrimp into the rice and simmer until the shrimp are pink and cooked through and the clams have fully opened, 5 minutes.
  • For the aioli: Meanwhile, add the vinegar, garlic and egg yolks to a food processor and process until combined. With the machine running, slowly add the oil to emulsify the mixture. Season to taste with salt.
  • For serving: Garnish with the chives and a drizzle of aioli.

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 (16 ounce) package linguine
8 ounces chicken breasts
8 ounces large shrimp (41/60, fully cooked)
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
3 pinches salt (amount to taste)
3 dashes pepper (amount to taste)
2 tablespoons olive oil (to saute chicken)
3 tablespoons olive oil (for sauce)
1 onion (chopped)
6 garlic cloves (crushed or minced)
1/2 cup marinated artichoke (quartered)
2 tablespoons capers
1/3 cup roasted red pepper (julienne-cut)
1/2 cup sun-dried tomato (julienne-cut)
2 tablespoons lemon zest
1/3 cup lemon juice
1 cup white wine
1 1/2 tablespoons flour
3/4 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup parmesan cheese
1/4 cup fresh parsley (chopped)

Steps:

  • Cook linguine according to packaging instructions (al dente).
  • Flatten the chicken with a meat tenderizer to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch thickness.
  • Season the chicken with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper (both sides).
  • Heat olive oil in a sauce pan and saute the chicken on medium-high heat for 2-4 minutes (or until golden brown on both sides). Then, place the chicken in a baking dish and continue cooking in the oven for 10 minutes at 350 degrees (or the chicken's internal temp reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit).
  • Slice the chicken into 1/2 to 3/4 inch bite size cubes or chunks. Set aside.
  • This recipe calls for 'fully cooked shrimp' so make sure your shrimp is fully cooked, warmed, and thawed. Set shrimp aside.
  • In the sauce pan, at medium-high heat, heat the olive oil and add the onions until the onions caramelize and release their fragrance. Then, add the garlic, artichokes, capers, roasted red peppers, and stir for about 2 minutes (until the artichokes start to tenderize).
  • Sprinkle the pan with the flour and stir until all ingredients are coated.
  • Add the white wine and the lemon zest and stir until it reaches a boil. Then, simmer for 2 minutes.
  • Bring the heat back up then incorporate the cream. Stir for about a minute. Add the Parmesan cheese and stir When the cheese is incorporated (melts into sauce) and the sauce thickens, add the lemon juice and stir.
  • Add the sun-dried tomatoes, chicken, and shrimp then stir for about a minute. Add salt to taste.
  • Add the linguine and a little bit of the parsley (save some for garnishing). Make sure the linguine is thoroughly coated with the sauce.
  • Plate on to a large serving dish. Try to transfer the linguine first so you can top the dish with the sauce and ingredients. Garnish with chopped parsley, Parmesan, and maybe a sliced lemon and some black pepper. Enjoy.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you do, the chicken and shrimp will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the chicken and shrimp over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from overcooking and becoming tough.
  • Add the garlic and ginger towards the end of cooking. This will help to prevent them from burning and becoming bitter.
  • Season the dish to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices.
  • Serve the dish immediately over rice or noodles.

Conclusion:

Garlic chicken and shrimp is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken and shrimp. With its savory garlic sauce and tender chicken and shrimp, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
