Healthy Grilled Shrimp Fajita

Ingredients

  • 2 large bell peppers, sliced 1/2-inch thick
  • 1 large onion, sliced 1/2-inch thick
  • 1 bunch of scallions, quartered crosswise
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp. chipotle chile powder
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
  • Kosher salt
  • 1 1/4 lbs extra-large shrimp, peeled and deveined with tails removed
  • 2 limes, halved
  • Twelve 6-inch flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup packed cilantro leaves and tender stems
  • Salsa and chopped avocado (optional)
Preparation
  1. Set your grill to medium to high heat. Combine the bell pepper, onion, scallions, oil, chile powder, cumin, and ¼ teaspoon of salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
  2. Tear a piece of heavy-duty tin foil into two 18-inch pieces. Spread the vegetable mixture on one piece of foil, leaving a few inches of exposed foil as a border. Place the shrimp on top of the vegetables and squeeze limes on top of the complete mixture. Place your other piece of foil on top and close tightly so no leaks happen!
  3. Create two more 18-inch pieces of foil and place the tortillas on top (overlapping a little), and cover this as you did with the shrimp/vegetable mixture. You have two packets now!
  4. Put the shrimp packet on the grill. Close the grill lid and cook for 12 minutes. You do not need to turn the packet over. Do not worry if your packet expands a little, it is okay.  After 12 minutes, carefully remove the packet with tongs onto a plate. Set aside.  Place your tortilla packet on the grill for approximately 4 minutes (2 minutes for each side).  Open your shrimp packet and scatter cilantro over the shrimp, and serve with warm tortillas and any additional toppings you’d like (salsa, avocado, sour cream).
