Fajita with Grilled Prawns and Fried Courgettes
by Editorial Staff
This Mexican-Texan fajita is served with spicy grilled shrimp and grilled zucchini to add a ton of flavor and juiciness to the dish. Peeled shrimp are pre-marinated for several hours in a mixture of chili powder, paprika, and brown sugar, which turns into an appetizing crust during grilling. Serve separately for shrimp, vegetables, warm corn tortillas, and other traditional fajita toppings: grated cheese, guacamole, chopped greens, lime wedges, salsa, and green onions. Gather your fajita at the table and enjoy.
