SHRIMP FAJITAS BOWL | SOUTHERN LIVING

Freezing the shrimp, onions, peppers, and seasonings in the same ziplock bag not only makes this fajita dish come together faster, it also acts as a marinade, intensifying the flavor. To maximize freezer space, lay the prepared bags flat in a single layer in the freezer; when frozen, stack bags to save room. Before broiling, make sure the mixture is completely thawed with no icy chunks, which will water down the dish.

SHRIMP FAJITAS WITH PEPPERS AND ZUCCHINI RECIPE - NYT COOKING

Shrimp fajitas are quickly thrown together. The shrimp are tossed in a mix of lime juice and zest, adobo sauce from a can of chipotles, olive oil, cumin and garlic, and don’t need to be marinated for longer than 30 minutes. I use just enough adobo sauce in the marinade to obtain its spicy and slightly sweet essence without overpowering the shrimp.
