Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound large shrimp, preferably wild (about 24), peeled, deveined, and tails removed
1 tablespoon chipotle-in-adobo sauce (from a 7-ounce can)
1 packed teaspoon grated lime zest and 2 tablespoons fresh juice, plus 1 more lime, halved
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 medium white onion, cut into 1/2-inch rounds
1/2 medium pineapple, cored and cut into 1/2-inch rounds
8 flour or corn tortillas (each 6 inches)
1/3 cup packed chopped cilantro, plus sprigs for serving
Avocado slices and sour cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat grill to medium-high; place a large cast-iron skillet on grates to preheat. Toss shrimp with adobo, zest, oil, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Lightly brush onion and pineapple with oil; grill directly on grates, flipping once, until charred in spots, 6 to 8 minutes. Let cool slightly. Grill tortillas, flipping once, until charred, about 30 seconds; wrap in parchment-lined foil. Roughly chop pineapple and onion; toss with lime juice and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add shrimp and lime halves to skillet and cook, flipping once, until shrimp are pink and just cooked through, 3 minutes. Let lime halves cool slightly, then squeeze over shrimp; serve in tortillas with pineapple pico, cilantro sprigs, avocado, and sour cream.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings (8 fajitas)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 yellow bell peppers, quartered
1 red bell pepper, quartered
1 yellow onion, cut into thick rounds
1 bunch scallions, trimmed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound peeled and deveined large shrimp, tails removed
8 small flour tortillas, warmed
For serving: sour cream, shredded iceberg lettuce, guacamole, shredded cheese and lime wedges

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.

Tips

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh shrimp, pineapple, and vegetables will give your fajitas the best flavor.
  • Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, and cumin will help to tenderize them and give them extra flavor.
  • Grill the shrimp and pineapple over high heat: This will help to caramelize the sugars in the pineapple and give the shrimp a nice char.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Bell peppers, onions, and zucchini are all great choices for fajitas. You can also add other vegetables, such as mushrooms, tomatoes, or corn.
  • Serve the fajitas immediately: Fajitas are best served hot off the grill. Serve them with your favorite toppings, such as guacamole, salsa, sour cream, and cheese.

Conclusion

Grilled shrimp and pineapple fajitas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They're perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual get-together.
