SHRIMP AND CHICKEN FAJITAS RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:

• Put the garlic cloves and salt in a food processor and pulse until the garlic is minced. Add the lime juice, pepper, cumin, chili powder, soy sauce, olive oil, and hot sauce and give everything a whirl until it is well-combined. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken, toss to coat, and stash in the fridge for at least an hour, but not longer than 4 hours. Reserve the other half of the marinade in the fridge for later. Pour the oil and hot sauce over the shrimp and toss to coat. Stash in the fridge while you prep the veggies. The Cook Think of the griddle as a flat wok - you want to get it hot and move the food on and off it quickly. So have all of your ingredients, and a large (pre-warmed if possible) serving platter arranged in front of you before you start. Center the griddle over your largest/hottest burner on the stove (or across 2 burners if you have a large rectangular griddle) and heat over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes. Swirl a couple of glugs of peanut oil on the griddle and let heat until it starts to shimmer (about 2 minutes). Use a slotted spoon to remove the chicken from the marinade and arrange it on the griddle. Let the chicken sear for about 2 minutes and then flip it over and let it cook for another minute or so until done (I like using a set of tongs for this). Remove the chicken to the platter and put the veggies on the griddle. Cook these until they soften and start to char a bit, about 5 minutes (or until your smoke alarm goes off like ours did). Pour just a couple of tablespoons of water on the griddle to de-glaze it and steam the veggies a bit. Use a spatula here to scrape up the brown bits and work them into the veggies. Remove the veggies to the platter and add the shrimp to the griddle. Cook these just until they turn pink and start to curl (about a minute), flip and cook the other side for another minute. Remove the shrimp to the platter and drizzle the whole thing with the reserved marinade. Serve with warm tortillas and guacamole.

SHEET PAN SHRIMP FAJITAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Mix fajita seasoning and olive oil together in a large bowl. Add shrimp; toss to coat.
• Lay out seasoned shrimp in a single layer on a baking sheet. Add red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, red onion, and jalapeno pepper; mix with shrimp and spread out evenly.

CHICKEN FAJITAS RECIPE

Steps:

• In a bowl combine the cayenne, chili powder, oregano, garlic powder and salt. Mix well then move 1/2 of the mixture to a large gallon Ziploc bag, and the other 1/2 to a small sandwich sized bag (or smaller).
• Add the chicken strips to the large bag of spices and shake and squish until all the chicken is covered in spices, then drop in the small bag of spices in (make sure it is closed) and place in the fridge for the minimum of 3 hours but 24 is even better. If you are going to freeze the chicken for later now is the time to do so.
• In your largest skillet heat the olive oil on medium-high and drop in the chicken, brown on both sides about 5 minutes total then add in the bell pepper, onion, jalapeno and the bag of spices.
• Mix together and cook until the onions and bell pepper are soft about 10-15 minutes.

SHRIMP FAJITA FOIL PACKETS

• In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, peppers and onions together. Drizzle with olive oil and juice from 1 lime. Add seasonings: chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Toss everything to coat well.
• Divide the mixture evenly into each foil packet.

MAGIC CHICKEN, BEEF OR SHRIMP FAJITAS

Steps:

• Cut meat in strips (against the grain) and place in medium sized freezer bag.
• Drizzle enough oil over the meat to coat and shake bag.
• Add all all seasonings to bag, shake to coat meat.
• Add enough lime juice to coat meat, plus dash of tequila.
• Marinade (ideal time for steak or chicken-- 1 1/2 -2 hours, shrimp-- no more than 30 minutes).
• Heat cast iron skillet on medium-high until smoking, add approximately 1/4 of the meat plus onion and peppers and sear for approximately 3-5 minutes. If cooking just chicken or shrimp, you may need to add a small amount of oil (1 tsp). Do not overcrowd the skillet or you will not achieve a good sear.
• Continue cooking the rest of the fajitas in small batches. Serve with tortillas and accompaniments.
