Instructions

  • Begin by arranging all the Gai Yang marinade ingredients in a bowl. Marinade chicken for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Assemble the shrimp and marinade ingredients and let shrimp marinade for at least 30 minutes. Note: The shrimp and chicken can be pre-marinated in batches, so you can take them out and cook them when you feel like it for the next few days – just stay aware of the shelf life of the meats.
  • Cut and wash the brussel sprouts and set aside.
  • Put cast iron pot over high heat. Place chicken and brussels on cast iron and pour remaining chicken marinade on the brussel sprouts. Add additional white pepper if desired. Cook the chicken for about 3-4 minutes on each side and leave the brussels in for the entirety of the time the chicken is cooking.
  • In the same skillet, add the shrimp and cook 1-2 minutes on each side or until the shrimp begins to curl.
  • Remove from heat, garnish, and enjoy!
