Shrimp And Chicken Fajitas Recipe 425

Steps:

• For the Tex-Mex chili rub: Mix together the paprika, brown sugar, chili powder, cumin, chipotle chile powder, garlic powder and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Toss the shrimp in a container with the olive oil and lime juice, then rub with the spice mixture. Refrigerate, covered, 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.

Steps:

• Whisk together the lime juice, oil, garlic, chile powder, oregano, cumin and 3 tablespoons salt in a medium bowl. Combine all the onions and peppers in a large bowl. Put the chicken, steak and shrimp in 3 individual bowls and evenly divide the marinade between the vegetables and proteins (about 3 tablespoons each). Toss each to coat and set aside to marinate for 30 minutes.
• Set all 4 burners to high on a 36-inch Blackstone® Griddle Cooking Station and preheat for 10 minutes.
• Spread a tablespoon of oil on the griddle and add the onions and peppers in a single layer. Cook, tossing with a large metal spatula occasionally, until starting to soften and brown in spots, about 3 minutes. Push the pepper mixture to one half of the griddle then add the chicken in a single layer to the empty half of the griddle; cook until browned on one side, 2 to 3 minutes, then flip and push closer to the peppers. Add the steak in a single layer and cook until browned on one side and the chicken is cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Place the chicken on top of the peppers and flip the steak so it is closer to the peppers. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook until browned on one side and the steak is cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Toss everything together and spread in a single layer. The shrimp will continue to cook through. Cook, tossing occasionally until the peppers are soft and everything is well combined, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a large serving platter.
• Scrape the griddle clean with your spatula and cook the tortillas until hot and pliable, about 30 seconds per side.
• Serve the fajitas immediately with lime wedges, cilantro leaves, salsa, guacamole, sour cream and shredded cheese.

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.

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.

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.

Steps:

• Combine oil, vinegar, water, and marinade mix in a large bowl. Add shrimp and marinate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the grill to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) and oil the grate with cooking spray.
• Add onions to the hot grill, keeping rings intact. Add bell peppers. Grill for 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and chop roughly.
• Grill shrimp until opaque and cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer shrimp to a bowl covered with aluminum foil to keep warm.
• Heat tortillas on the hot grill for 1 to 2 minutes. Assemble fajitas with onion, peppers, and 3 to 4 shrimp per tortilla.

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.
• Roast in the preheated oven until shrimp are opaque, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer shrimp to a serving plate.
• Broil pepper mixture until lightly blackened, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to the serving plate with shrimp.
