    Jack Daniel’s Chicken and Shrimp is easy and delicious and ready in under 30 minutes!

    Jack Daniel's Chicken & Shrimp

    You are going to love this Jack Daniel’s Chicken and Shrimp Recipe! This is the recipe that you’ll pass on to your kids and grandchildren! Probably the best restaurant-style dinner I’ve ever made. You can make this using only chicken or just shrimp. You can even do steak and shrimp.

    The sauce is where it’s at. Hands down the best sauce I’ve ever had. It’s sweet with a little bit of a kick. You can, of course, omit the sriracha sauce but I love the kick it gives it.

    My favorite thing to serve this with is loaded mashed potatoes but you can, of course, serve it with roasted vegetables, french fries, coleslaw, rice, etc.

    You can save the leftover Jack Daniel’s Sauce and drizzle it over salad or roasted veggies the following day. Make sure to place the leftover sauce in a tight container or mason jar.

      Amazing recipe. We used the leftover sauce the next day by adding a can of bushes baked beans to it and served them with our hamburgers after a day of snowmobiling. Hearty and delicious

      Amazing and delicious! Easy to make on week days after work. I made the sauce the night before and put in refrigerator. I also cleaned the shrimp the night before, but you can purchase shrimp already cleaned at your local grocery store. Served this with Jasmine rice and even drizzled sauce over rice for color and flavor. Broccoli roasted with pine nuts in olive oil and sea salt completed the dinner. Thanks for introducing me to this fabulous recipe!
