Prepare this dinner recipe and skip out on the restaurant. Toss these with some chili powder and red pepper flakes with added veggies for a plate full of flavor. You’ll want to cook these in a skillet or over a grill. A cast iron skillet will sear the shrimp nicely. Prep time: 10 minsCook time: 15 minsTotal time: 25 minsServings: 4 servings Ingredients: Charred Serrano Salsa: 2 serrano chiles 1/2 cup medium red salsa, store-bought or homemade 1/2 lime, juice only Pinch of salt Shrimp Fajita Spice Mix: 2 teaspoons mild chili powder 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 teaspoon ground black pepper 1 teaspoon granulated onion 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional Fajitas: 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined (31/35 size) 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided 1 red pepper, sliced 1 green pepper, sliced 1/2 large red onion, sliced, about 1 cup 10 medium flour tortillas Toppings: Fresh avocado Salsa Fresh cilantro Sour cream Directions: Make the salsa: Char the serrano chiles in a cast iron skillet over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or grill over medium-high heat. Once cooked, cut the peppers in half and scoop out seeds. Then chop and stir into your favorite salsa along with lime and salt. It boosts the flavor and heat substantially! Season the shrimp: Mix up the spice mix of chili powder, kosher salt, black pepper, granulated onion, cumin, dried oregano, and optional red pepper flakes. Drizzle shrimp with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and toss with 2 tablespoons of spice mix. Stir well to combine and coat the shrimp. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the peppers and onions, and sprinkle the remaining spice mix over them. Stir to coat. Cook the fajitas: To cook the fajitas on the stovetop, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. If you’re grilling the fajitas, heat your grill to medium-high heat along with a grill pan. Once hot, add veggies to the skillet or grill pan and cook for 5 to 6 minutes until vegetables soften and start to char in spots. Scoot the veggies to one side of the pan and add shrimp. Cook shrimp for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring regularly until they are cooked through. They will cook fast! Serve the fajitas: Smear the flour tortillas with some sour cream. Divide veggies and shrimp between tortillas (I like to serve 3 to 4 shrimp per tortilla). You can remove the tails prior to serving, or let each person remove their own tails. Top the fajitas with avocado, salsa, fresh cilantro and/or sour cream. Leftover fajitas filling will keep okay in the fridge for a day or two. I prefer to reheat in a skillet over medium-low heat until warmed through. I don’t recommend microwaving shrimp unless you want your microwave to forever smell like shrimp. Source: Simply Recipes

This meal is packed with sweet citrus flavors, sesame seeds and scallions. It’s a breeze to make, and all you need is a large skillet. Be sure to add the orange zest in the sauce for the final touch. You can also use chicken wings for this recipe! Just deep fry them until they’re cooked through, before tossing them in the sauce. Pair this dish with white rice and big pinches of fresh scallion along sesame seeds. Prep time: 20 mins Cook time: 15 mins Total time: 35 mins Servings: 4 servings Ingredients: For the orange sauce: Zest from 1 orange 1/4 cup orange juice 1/4 cup soy sauce 1/4 cup water 1/3 cup rice vinegar 1 tablespoon cornstarch 1 tablespoon sesame oil 1/2 cup sugar For the chicken: 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs 2 large eggs 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 1/2 cup cornstarch 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 2 cups vegetable oil, for frying 2 cloves garlic, chopped 1 large shallot, chopped To garnish and serve: Sliced scallions, garnish Sesame seeds, garnish Cooked white rice, to serve Directions: Make the orange sauce: Whisk together sauce ingredients in a medium bowl. Set aside. Prep the chicken: Cut chicken into about 1-inch cubes. Whisk eggs with salt and black pepper in a bowl and add chicken. Stir together. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and cornstarch. Remove chicken from eggs with a slotted spoon or tongs, letting excess egg drain off, then transfer to cornstarch mixture and coat well. Fry the chicken: Add oil to a large 10- to 12-inch skillet. Heat over medium-high heat until it reaches 350F. If you don’t have a thermometer, you can also test the temperature by sprinkling in some flour and it should fizzle immediately. Once oil is hot, fry the chicken in two batches. The oil might not completely cover the chicken—that’s okay. Cook for 3-4 minutes. Flip the chicken pieces and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 3 to 4 more minutes. Total cook time is about 6-8 minutes. Remove fried chicken cubes and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels, so the chicken can drain. Repeat until all the chicken is cooked. Simmer the chicken in the sauce: Once chicken is done, pour out hot oil and wipe pan clean. Add a fresh tablespoon of oil along with chopped garlic and shallot. Cook for a minute and then add the sauce. Simmer the sauce until it starts to thicken. Once the sauce is lightly bubbling, add fried chicken and toss together to coat. The sauce should continue to thicken and stick to the chicken. Let simmer for a minute or two more. Serve orange chicken over cooked white rice, garnished with sesame seeds and fresh scallions.
