Barbecued Seafood Fajitas Recipes

SHRIMP FAJITAS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
• In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.
• Use a pastry brush to coat both sides of the peppers, onions and scallions with some of the oil, then sprinkle with a quarter of the spice mix. Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel, then brush with the remaining olive oil and season with the remaining spice mixture.
• Grill the peppers, onions and scallions until grill marks appear, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a cutting board. Add the shrimp to the grill and cook just until they turn pink and begin to curl, about 2 minutes per side. Coarsely chop the vegetables and shrimp.
• Serve with the warm flour tortillas (I like to wrap a stack of tortillas in foil and warm on the grill) and sour cream, lettuce, guacamole, cheese and lime wedges.

EASY GRILLED SHRIMP FAJITAS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Place bell pepper strips, onion, and jalapeno slices in a large bowl. Add 2 teaspoons of fajita seasoning and olive oil. Stir until evenly combined.
• Place shrimp in a separate bowl. Add remaining 1/2 teaspoon fajita seasoning and lime juice. Gently stir until evenly combined.
• Place vegetable mixture in a grill basket. Grill for 10 minutes. Stir in shrimp and grill for 5 minutes more. Remove basket from the grill.
• Place tortillas on the grill and toast for 2 minutes. Divide filling between the tortillas and serve.

SHEET PAN PARTY FAJITAS

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler to high. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
• Combine the chili powder, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Put the peppers and onions on the lined baking sheet, drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the oil and season with half the chili powder mixture. Broil until the vegetables soften and begin to char, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, put the chicken, beef and shrimp in 3 different bowls and toss each with 1 teaspoon of the remaining oil and a third of the remaining chili powder mixture.
• When the peppers and onions are softened and starting to char, about 10 minutes, lay the chicken, steak and shrimp in lines on top of the vegetables. Return the baking sheet to the broiler until the chicken, steak and shrimp are cooked through and starting to brown, 5 to 8 minutes depending on your broiler. Drizzle with lime juice and serve with the warmed tortillas, cheese, guacamole, hot sauce, salsa, sour cream and lime wedges.

HEALTHY GRILLED SHRIMP FAJITA FOIL PACK

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
• Toss together the bell pepper, onion, scallions, oil, chile powder, cumin and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a very large bowl.
• Tear two 18-inch pieces of 18-inch-wide heavy duty foil. Spread the vegetable mixture on one piece of foil, leaving a few inches of exposed foil as a border. Arrange the shrimp on top of the vegetables in a single layer. Squeeze the limes over the mixture. Top with the remaining piece of foil, lining up the edges. Fold the edges and crimp tightly to make a leak-proof packet.
• Tear two 18-inch pieces of 18-inch-wide heavy duty foil. Arrange the tortillas, overlapping slightly, on one piece of foil. Top with the remaining piece of foil, lining up the edges. Fold the edges and crimp tightly to make another packet.
• Put the shrimp packet on the grill, close the grill lid and cook 12 minutes (do not turn the packet over). The packet should puff up and look like a pillow. Slide from the grill onto a baking sheet using tongs. Set aside and let rest while you heat up the tortillas. Put the tortilla pack on the grill and cook until warm, about 2 minutes per side.
• Carefully open the shrimp packet (hot steam will escape). The shrimp should be pink and cooked through and the onions and peppers just tender. Scatter the cilantro over the shrimp. Serve with the warm tortillas and salsa and avocado, if desired.
