Applebee's Bourbon Chicken and Shrimp Recipe

This dish is known for its bold Cajun flavors and a touch of sweetness that makes each bite unbelievably tasty.
The secret to getting the chicken and shrimp just right is to let them marinate in a delightful Cajun seasoning blend.
Don’t rush the cooking of the chicken; let it reach that perfect internal temperature for the juiciest results.
What I really enjoy about this recipe is the way the caramelized onions and mushrooms complement the main ingredients.
