I was at the market, looking for inspiration for dinner, and saw that they had both cooked shrimp and boneless, skinless chicken breasts on sale. Wanting to make something rather light, I went with a light citrus and tomato sauce.
Ingredients:
1 onion, finely chopped
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
8 oz mushrooms, finely chopped
1 sm can of tomato paste
1/4 cup of sun dried tomatoes
4 tablespoons lime juice
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tbsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp basil
1/2 tsp oregeno
1/2 tsp thyme
1 lb of boneless skinless chicken, cut into 1/2" cubes
1 lb of cooked shrimp, halved
Over medium heat, drizzle olive oil in deep frying pan. Put chopped onion and chicken cubes in pan, and spread over olive oil. Add lime and lemon juice, as well as the spices and garlic to mix, stir and then cover with lid and let simmer, stirring occasionally, (appr 12-15 minutes). When onions are soft and meat cooked, add in tomato paste and dried tomatoes. Stir until a sauce in created. Reduce heat, recover and let simmer, stirring occasionally. About 10 to 15 minutes prior to serving, stir in shrimp and mushrooms, recover and let simmer, stirring occasionally.
Then serve in bowls. Serves 4. Had a nice citrus twang to the light tomato sauce that I really liked.

This came out really well. I needed a huge skillet for it so I could fit everything. Great recipe. Thanks Dave!
ReplyDeleteYummy. Not sure what I did wrong but I ended up adding about 2C of chicken broth to have enough moisture to cook the shrimp and mushrooms. We also added some cajun seasoning. We will certainly make it again.
