Ingredients (makes 4 servings)
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil (120 ml/ 4 fl oz)
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice (30 ml)
- 1 tsp chile powder, or to taste (chipotle for hot, ancho for mild)
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/2 medium red onion, sliced (50 g/ 1.8 oz)
- 1 medium green bell pepper (120 g/ 4.2 oz)
- 1 medium red bell pepper (120 g/ 4.2 oz)
- 2 medium yellow and/or orange bell peppers (340 g/ 12 oz)
- 600 g raw shrimp/prawns, deveined (1.3 lb)
- Optional: sour cream, lime wedges and fresh cilantro or parsley to serve
Instructions
- To make the marinade, juice the lime and place in a small bowl together with the spices (chile powder, cumin, salt and pepper) and olive oil. Whisk to combine — the mixture will thicken.
- Peel and slice the onion and slice the bell peppers. Mince the garlic. You can use one green bell pepper plus three other bell peppers (red, yellow and/or orange).
- Place the peppers in a bowl and add the red onion and garlic. Pour over half of the marinade. Toss to combine.
- In another bowl combine the shrimp with the remaining marinade. Place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
- Remove the peppers from the fridge. Place in a tray together with the marinade and bake at 200 °C/ 400 °F (fan assisted), or 220 °C/ 425 °F (conventional) for 10 minutes, tossing and rotating the tray halfway to ensure even cooking.
- After 10 minutes, turn on the broiler, add the marinated shrimp and cook on high for another 5 to 8 minutes. (You will have some marinade left from the prawns. Do not pour it into the tray as it would make the meal too watery.)
- Remove from the oven and set aside to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Optionally, serve with lime wedges, cilantro (or parsley), sour cream and/or Keto Tortillas. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
