Steps:

  • 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.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini and a pinch of salt and cook until the zucchini is light brown and tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining 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.
  • Brush the grill grates with oil. Grill the shrimp until cooked through, about 2 minutes per side.
  • Serve with the warm tortillas and toppings.

POLLO CALABAZAS PICANTES FAJITAS/SPICY CHICKEN AND SQUASH FAJITA

This recipe started as "Calabazasitas" which my Grandmother and parents used to make when I was a little girl. I have changed it quite a bit by adding meats and cheeses and different veggies and spices anything that I thought would blend in well with the squash. I love it because it can be eaten as tacos or fajitas or all by it self with a side of spanish rice and beans. Also if your not into meat it is great with just the veggies.
