Light up the grill and get out the greens! This recipe for savory shrimp fajitas is great for outdoor get-togethers or an easy family meal. Shrimp cook quickly, which also reduces the amount of time they are exposed to the smoke and charring that, in animal protein, adds unhealthy substances. For these fajitas, a little lime juice, garlic, oil and a shot of hot pepper flakes are the perfect marinade. Marinating helps prevent foods from drying out and adds flavor. But most importantly, marinades can help reduce the formation of carcinogens.
NOTE: There are lots of concerns over the safety of eating shrimp these days, especially shrimp which originate in the oil spill-tainted Gulf of Mexico, shrimp which might be contaminated from the Fukushima radiation and much of the farmed shrimp. Two of the safest shrimp are considered to be pink shrimp from Oregon and spot prawns from Canada.
