Yes, Cajun seasoning is spicy because it contains cayenne pepper. The level of spiciness can vary from brand to brand, so be sure to test yours before using it.
Can I make Bourbon Street chicken and shrimp with frozen shrimp?
Frozen shrimp work great here. Be sure to let them thaw in the refrigerator overnight before marinading.

For the best flavor, I really recommend it. But you can marinate them for as little as 2 hours.

Ingredients
- ¼ cup Cajun seasoning
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 pound large shrimp peeled and deveined (tails on or off)
- ¼ cup olive oil divided
- ¼ cup unsalted butter divided (½ stick)
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- Garlic butter for serving
- Garlic mashed red potatoes for serving
- Sautéed mushrooms and onions for serving
Equipment
Cast Iron Skillet
Instant-Read Thermometer
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the Cajun seasoning, brown sugar, and salt. Set a plate and a large piece of aluminum foil aside.
¼ cup Cajun seasoning, 2 teaspoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Place the chicken and shrimp in two separate medium bowls. Drizzle each with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then sprinkle the Cajun seasoning blend over and toss to evenly coat all of the pieces. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator, allowing it to marinate for 2-24 hours.
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, 1 pound large shrimp, ¼ cup olive oil
When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 350°F. Melt 3 tablespoons of butter with 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet set over medium-high heat. Stir in the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
¼ cup unsalted butter, 3 cloves garlic
Add the shrimp and cook for 1-3 minutes per side, or until seared and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet, place on the plate, and tent with foil to keep warm.
Wipe out the skillet and melt the remaining butter and oil together. Sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side, then place the skillet in the preheated oven and cook until internal temperature reaches 165°F, about 12-18 minutes.
Transfer the chicken and shrimp with the remaining garlic butter sauce to a serving plate. Garnish with parsley and serve with more garlic butter, garlic mashed potatoes, and sautéed mushrooms and onions.

The taste is there but we all felt it was SUPER salty (and I like salt) I’d do it again but I’d cut the salt down.Reply

I’m sorry to hear this recipe wasn’t quite to your tastes, Stevie!
