Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/3 cup olive oil, plus more for oiling the grill grates
1/4 cup torn fresh cilantro
1/4 cup honey
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
6 garlic cloves, smashed
2 jalapenos, seeded
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds peeled and deveined large shrimp
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium zucchini, cut into 1/4-inch half-moons
Kosher salt.
1 medium yellow squash, cut into 1/4-inch half-moons
1 bunch scallions, cut into 1-inch lengths
1 large tomato, chopped
1 red jalapeno, seeded and thinly sliced
1/2 cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro
For Serving: Warm tortillas, guacamole, sliced pickled jalapenos, lime wedges, tomatillo salsa and chopped scallions

Steps:

  • For the sweet and spicy marinade: Put the oil, cilantro, honey, lime juice, thyme, garlic, jalapenos, 1 teaspoon each salt and 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 up to 2 hours before cooking.
  • For the squash and zucchini: Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring, until the zucchini is light brown and tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, yellow squash and a pinch of salt, then transfer the cooked squash to the plate. Add the scallions to the skillet and cook, stirring once or twice, until lightly charred. Add the tomato, jalapeno and the cooked zucchini and squash and stir to combine. Add the cilantro and season with salt. Set aside.
  • Prepare an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
  • Lightly brush the grill grates with oil and grill the shrimp until cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Serve with the warm tortillas, zucchini and squash, guacamole, sliced pickled jalapenos, lime wedges, tomatillo salsa and chopped scallions.

QUICK AND EASY SHRIMP FAJITAS



Quick and Easy Shrimp Fajitas image

This is a twist on a classic recipe using shrimp instead of beef or chicken. I use regular old taco seasoning to make it easier, but any seasoning combination for fajitas will work. Serve with refried beans and Spanish rice to make an easy meal!

Time 25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 ½ tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 pound medium shrimp - peeled and deveined
1 cup (1 small) chopped onion
1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
3 tablespoons water, or as needed
6 (10 inch) flour tortillas, warmed

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the red and green bell peppers, and onion. Cook, stirring frequently until peppers are hot, but still slightly crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • Pour the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of oil into the skillet, and add the shrimp. Cook, stirring occasionally, until pink and opaque. Reduce heat to low, and return the peppers and onion to the skillet. Stir in taco seasoning and water so that everything is evenly coated. Simmer until peppers are heated. Serve in warm tortillas.
