21 Day Fix Baked Shrimp Fajitas

Using a baking dish for roasting an entire meal is a one-pot meal reinvented.  Nothing adds flavor to meat and veggies like oven-roasting.

 

These fajitas would make an easy and quick weeknight meal, especially if you do the prep work (cutting and slicing) ahead of time! 

21 Day Fix Baked Shrimp Fajitas

Baked Shrimp Fajitas

SEASONING

• 1 Tbsp chili powder
• ½ Tbsp paprika
• ½ tsp onion powder
• ¼ tsp garlic powder
• ¼ tsp cumin
• ⅛ tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp sugar
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ Tbsp corn starch

FAJITAS

• 2 small (or 1 lg.) onion
• 2 medium green bell peppers
• 2 medium red bell pepper
• 1 lb. raw shrimp
• 1 Tbsp. olive oil
• 1 medium lime
• 8 (6-inch) tortillas (optional)
• ½ cup sour cream (optional)
• ¼ bunch cilantro (optional)

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Mix all of the ingredients for the fajita seasoning in a small bowl and set aside (chili powder, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, sugar, salt, and corn starch).

 

Cut the onion and bell peppers into ¼ to ½ inch wide strips. Place them in a large 9×13 inch casserole dish.

 

Sprinkle the seasoning over the vegetables. Drizzle the olive oil over everything and then use your hands to toss the ingredients until everything is well coated in oil and seasoning. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring once half way through.

 

Add shrimp to baking dish and stir thoroughly.  Cook for an additional 15 minutes or until shrimp are cooked through and pink.

 

Squeeze the juice from half of the lime over top of the shrimp and vegetables after it comes out of the oven.

 

(Optional:  Scoop a small amount of meat and vegetables into the center of each tortilla. Top with a few sprigs of cilantro, a dollop of sour cream, and an extra squeeze of lime if desired.)

 

(21 Day Fixers:  This recipe makes 4 servings.  Each serving [without tortillas and sour cream] = 1 red, 2 green, and 1 tsp.)

ALL THE BEST,

Weekly Meal Plan: June 29 - July 5th AND Tips to Keep YOUR Family on Track This Week!

Tips to keep YOUR family on track this week:

• Do your best to plan out your meals for the week and prepare as much as possible, so you can whip up a healthy family sized meal in the time it would take to go out and get some fast food. It might sound like a daunting task, but spending 15 minutes on weekends creating a meal plan is the best thing you can do. It will eventually become part of your routine.
• Replace instead of restrict.  Keep a large supply of healthy fruits. Be sure that your healthy options are visible. You’re much more likely to grab a snack that’s already out rather than go to the cupboard and grab something.  Find fruits and vegetables with strong flavor.
• Proper portioning. Food portions in United States are much larger than they need to be. By slowly working your way back to an appropriate size — think only one piece of chicken and a helping of steamed vegetables instead of two or three — your body can adjust gradually to the newer and healthier eating patterns.
• Support.  It’s best when a family unit eats healthy together, but that can sometimes be impractical. If not everyone can partake, it’s important that they are still supportive. Engage the whole family when making your weekly grocery and meal list so that everyone has a say in what they’re eating. Having everyone making decisions will vary the meals you’re having, reducing boredom and repetition.
