RSSQuick and Easy Shrimp Fajita Recipe
October 20th, 2009 by Dawn, Co-founder of Rouxbe
Like the title claims, this fajita recipe is very easy and quick to prepare. Lime and chipotle peppers form most of the flavor base for this fajita recipe. Sautéed shrimp, onions, garlic and corn come together to make one simple and colorful fajita mix.
For even more color and flavor, beautiful ripe avocados are mixed with fresh lime juice and then spread onto warm corn tortillas and topped with the prawn and corn mix. Yum!
Lately I have been obsessed with shrimp (or prawns whichever- usually depends more on where you buy them – in Canada we would call these prawns; however in the U.S. they would call these shrimp).
It’s the weirdest thing…I can’t seem to get enough of them. I have been using them in everything – salads, stirfrys, quesadillas…you name it. I think the strangest thing is that I rarely ever crave seafood. I think that last year I maybe had prawns about 3 times, whereas in the last month or two, I have already had them at least 15 times…strange!
This fajita recipe is inspired by a recent issue of Fine Cooking magazine. It was actually on the front cover. I saw it at the check-out and I had to have it. Of course, I had already paid for my groceries, so I had to go back into the store and buy all of the ingredients for the recipe – amazing the power of a picture!
Here is the step-by-step Prawn and Corn Fajita Recipe.
What is your favorite way to eat prawns, is it simply with garlic and lemon or is it more elaborate perhaps? Please do feel free to share, as my prawn obsession is still not over!
Hope you enjoy – Ciao for now!
