Equipment

Ingredients

Chicken and Shrimp

  • 1 Chicken Breast
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 2 cups rice
  • 10 medium shrimps
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup flaked coconut
  • 2 green onions
  • 1/4 cup peanuts
  • sesame seeds

Peanut Sauce

  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp lime juice
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes

Instructions

Chicken and Shrimp

  • Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet.
  • Generously season chicken and shrimp with salt and pepper.
  • Sprinkle cornstarch over chicken and shrimp, ensuring full coating.
  • Add coated chicken to skillet, cook until slightly golden (2 mins per side).
  • Remove chicken, add shrimp, cook until slightly pink, then remove.
  • Set aside for a deliciously golden and perfectly cooked chicken and shrimp combo.

Peanut Sauce

  • Combine all sauce ingredients in a small saucepan.
  • Heat until the mixture gently bubbles, ensuring a flavorful blend.
  • Cover the pan and remove it from the heat, letting the magic unfold.

Notes

  • It literally only took me three minutes to prepare this peanut sauce, but if time is of the essence, you could use store-bought peanut sauce.
  • Stir in the sriracha or cayenne pepper for more heat if desired. Both taste well and are excellent methods for turning up the heat. Some red pepper flakes would be an additional choice.
