Bourbon Street Chicken and Shrimp:
Warm 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Place the chicken on the skillet and sear evenly on both sides until brown.

Warm 2 tablespoons of olive oil on a separate pan and evenly sear the shrimp. Save the marinade for later use.

Transfer both the chicken and shrimp to a foil-covered baking pan and layer the meat.

Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

Preheat the oven to 360 degrees F.

Roast the meat for 8 minutes.

Onion and Pepper Sauce:
Saute the yellow onion and green bell pepper in olive oil until tender. Set aside.

Layer the meat over the onion and pepper sauce. Serve with lemon wedges and enjoy!
