This is one of my husband's favorites, and he's a picky eater, so you know it's good! Some folks are surprised how well chicken and shrimp complement each other.

This is a real keeper....very tasty. I did have to use more chicken broth (about another 1/2 cup) to get the rice cooked, and my husband would have liked a little more rice. Will definitely make again.
