TEX-MEX SHRIMP FAJITAS WITH PEPPERS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• For the Tex-Mex chili rub: Mix together the paprika, brown sugar, chili powder, cumin, chipotle chile powder, garlic powder and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Toss the shrimp in a container with the olive oil and lime juice, then rub with the spice mixture. Refrigerate, covered, for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours before cooking.
• For the peppers and onions: Heat a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until hot. Toss the peppers and onions in a bowl with the olive oil, lime juice and 1 teaspoon salt. Add the pepper-onion mixture to the hot pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the edges are charred, 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside.
• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat and brush the grill grates with oil.
• Grill the shrimp until cooked through, about 2 minutes per side.
• Serve with the warm tortillas and toppings.

TEX-MEX SHRIMP AND NOODLES

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a Dutch oven or large wide pot over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp, 1 teaspoon chili powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are just cooked through, about 3 minutes; transfer to a bowl.
• Add the remaining 3 tablespoons vegetable oil and the pasta to the pot. Cook, stirring, until golden, 3 minutes; transfer to a separate bowl.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the onion, bell pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 to 2 tablespoons water to the pot. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables soften, about 3 minutes.
• Increase the heat to medium high; stir in 2 cups water, the tomatoes, toasted noodles and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer, stirring to break up any clumps. Cover, reduce the heat to medium, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender and most of the water is absorbed, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in the shrimp. Top each serving with sour cream, pickled jalapenos and cilantro.

TEX-MEX GRILLED SHRIMP AND SALSA

Steps:

• Combine shrimp, olive oil, paprika, chili powder, and cumin in a large bowl. Gently stir until evenly combined. Cover and refrigerate while you prepare the salsa.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Grill tomatoes, onion, garlic, and jalapeno for 4 minutes. Flip and grill until tomatoes and jalapenos are blistered, about 4 minutes more.
• Cut tops off the tomatoes and discard. Cut jalapeno in half, scrape the skin off, and discard seeds. Quarter the onion. Squeeze garlic cloves from their skins.
• Place the grilled vegetables in a blender. Add lime juice and salt; blend until smooth. Add cilantro and pulse until evenly blended.
• Transfer shrimp to the hot grill and cook for 2 minutes per side. Serve with the salsa.
