Time 1h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup torn cilantro
1/4 cup honey
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon thyme leaves
6 cloves garlic, smashed
2 jalapenos, seeded
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds peeled and deveined large shrimp
2 red bell peppers, cut into 1-inch strips
2 yellow bell peppers, cut into 1-inch strips
2 large red onions, thickly sliced
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 limes, juiced
Kosher salt
Neutral oil, for oiling the grill grates
Warm tortillas, for serving
Suggested toppings: guacamole, sour cream, lime wedges, chopped cilantro, sliced jalapenos, pico de gallo

Steps:

  • For the sweet and spicy marinade: Put the olive oil, cilantro, honey, lime juice, thyme, garlic, jalapenos, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a food processor and pulse to puree. Transfer the mixture to a nonreactive container, add the shrimp and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours before cooking
  • For the peppers and onions: Heat a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until hot. Toss the peppers and onions in a bowl with the olive oil, lime juice and 1 teaspoon salt. Add the pepper-onion mixture to the hot pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the edges are charred, 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside.
  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat and brush the grill grates with oil.
  • Grill the shrimp until cooked through, about 2 minutes per side.
  • Serve with the warm tortillas and toppings.

I would not recommend this recipe. The fajitas were not good.

These fajitas were a waste of time. The shrimp was overcooked and the sauce was bland.

I thought these fajitas were just okay. The sauce was a little too sweet for my taste.
