Chipotle shrimp or portobello fajitas
Here's a dish we've been digging this week. This is a super flexible recipe, essentially a Mexican-themed stir fry. I marinate either shrimp or meaty sliced portobello mushrooms in chipotle seasoning. As you might have noticed, I use chipotle a lot, especially now that we aren't eating meat. It packs a lot of flavor into a single ingredient, adding smokiness, richness, and heat.

Sprinkle shrimp or mushrooms with marinade ingredients and let sit for about 30 minutes, if possible. In a large skillet (I like to use my cast iron), sear the shrimp or mushrooms in oil on high for about 3 minutes per side, until cooked through. Remove, set aside, and add remaining veggies and seasonings. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, until a bit caramelized. If using cherry tomatoes, add them after veggies have started to soften. Combine all ingredients again in skillet and serve.
