SHRIMP FAJITAS

Categories main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings (8 fajitas)

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 yellow bell peppers, quartered
1 red bell pepper, quartered
1 yellow onion, cut into thick rounds
1 bunch scallions, trimmed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound peeled and deveined large shrimp, tails removed
8 small flour tortillas, warmed
For serving: sour cream, shredded iceberg lettuce, guacamole, shredded cheese and lime wedges

Steps:

Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.
Use a pastry brush to coat both sides of the peppers, onions and scallions with some of the oil, then sprinkle with a quarter of the spice mix. Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel, then brush with the remaining olive oil and season with the remaining spice mixture.
Grill the peppers, onions and scallions until grill marks appear, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a cutting board. Add the shrimp to the grill and cook just until they turn pink and begin to curl, about 2 minutes per side. Coarsely chop the vegetables and shrimp.
Serve with the warm flour tortillas (I like to wrap a stack of tortillas in foil and warm on the grill) and sour cream, lettuce, guacamole, cheese and lime wedges.

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

2 large bell peppers, sliced 1/2-inch thick
1 large onion, sliced 1/2-inch thick
1 bunch scallions, quartered crosswise
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt
1 1/4 pounds extra-large peeled and deveined shrimp, tails removed
2 limes, halved
Twelve 6-inch flour tortillas
1/2 cup loosely packed cilantro leaves and tender stems
1/2 cup loosely packed cilantro leaves and tender stems
Salsa and chopped avocado for serving, optional

Steps:

Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
Toss together the bell pepper, onion, scallions, oil, chile powder, cumin and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a very large bowl.
Tear two 18-inch pieces of 18-inch-wide heavy duty foil. Spread the vegetable mixture on one piece of foil, leaving a few inches of exposed foil as a border. Arrange the shrimp on top of the vegetables in a single layer. Squeeze the limes over the mixture. Top with the remaining piece of foil, lining up the edges. Fold the edges and crimp tightly to make a leak-proof packet.
Tear two 18-inch pieces of 18-inch-wide heavy duty foil. Arrange the tortillas, overlapping slightly, on one piece of foil. Top with the remaining piece of foil, lining up the edges. Fold the edges and crimp tightly to make another packet.
Put the shrimp packet on the grill, close the grill lid and cook 12 minutes (do not turn the packet over). The packet should puff up and look like a pillow. Slide from the grill onto a baking sheet using tongs. Set aside and let rest while you heat up the tortillas. Put the tortilla pack on the grill and cook until warm, about 2 minutes per side.
Carefully open the shrimp packet (hot steam will escape). The shrimp should be pink and cooked through and the onions and peppers just tender. Scatter the cilantro over the shrimp. Serve with the warm tortillas and salsa and avocado, if desired.

Tips:

Use fresh shrimp. Fresh shrimp will give your fajitas the best flavor. If you can't find fresh shrimp, frozen shrimp will also work, but be sure to thaw them completely before cooking.
Marinate the shrimp. Marinating the shrimp in a flavorful mixture of spices and herbs will help to enhance their flavor. You can use a store-bought marinade or make your own. Be sure to let the shrimp marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
Cook the shrimp over high heat. High heat will help to sear the shrimp and give them a nice smoky flavor. Be sure to cook the shrimp until they are just cooked through, as overcooking will make them tough.
Use a variety of vegetables. Fajitas are a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Some good options include bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and squash. You can also add some fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley, to the fajitas for extra flavor.
Serve the fajitas with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings for fajitas include guacamole, sour cream, salsa, and cheese. You can also serve the fajitas with tortillas, rice, or beans.

Conclusion:

Grilled shrimp fajitas are a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover shrimp and vegetables. With a little planning, you can have a delicious and healthy meal on the table in no time.
