I asked on my Instagram page if I should share more meal prep recipes, and the answer was 100% yes! So, I decided to share my Shrimp Fajita Meal Prep!
Here is what you will need: For marinade: ¼ cup Olive Oil 2 limes or a ¼ cup of lime juice 1 tsp ground cumin ½ tsp Chile powder Salt and Pepper to taste For Fajitas: Another ¼ cup of Olive Oil 2 lbs of shrimp Fajita vegetables 1 cup of brown rice 1 ¾ of water Cooking the fajitas: Start by putting ingredients for the marinade in a gallon size bag along with the shrimp. Let the shrimp marinate for 15-30 minutes. Make sure to keep about ¼ of a cup-ish to the side for the vegetables. I won’t lie, I failed to measure and just eye-balled the measurement. While shrimp is marinating, coat the bottom of a frying pan with olive oil and start cooking the vegetables at medium heat until soft. After the shrimp is marinated cook the shrimp for 5 minutes on each side until fully cooked. (This time may vary depending on your heat. I cooked mine at medium high heat.) Then combine the vegetables and shrimp. Mix in the remainder of the marinade to the shrimp and vegetables. Let cook for another 5 minutes. Cooking the rice: In a small pot, put 1 ¾ cups of water and 1 cup of brown rice. Cook on high until boiling. Once boiling, lower heat to simmer, put a lid on the pot, and let simmer for 45 minutes. Do not uncover pot until 45 minutes have passed. This will make perfect brown rice! Once everything is cooked, separate rice and fajitas into 3 or 4 different containers. Let cool, seal, and refrigerate for up to 4 days. I usually only meal prep for 3 days because I don’t trust food lasting longer than 4 days. If you try this recipe share pictures with me and tell me how it comes out! Use the hashtag #MyHeartBeatsNM on social media. Have a lovely week everyone!
