Plate Side: Bottom Grill, Top Griddle
Griddler® Cooking Position: Open and flat

1. Use paper towels to fully dry the peeled
shrimp. Put the dried shrimp in a small bowl
or plastic bag with 2 tablespoons of the
olive oil, garlic, chili powder and cumin. Stir
to evenly coat with all of the ingredients.
Refrigerate for 20 minutes to marinate.
2. While the shrimp is marinating, toss the
peppers and onions in the remaining oil.
Sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon of the salt and the
pinch of pepper and garlic powder. Turn on
the Cuisinart® Griddler®. Select Grill/Griddle
and set to 425°F.
3. Once preheated, put the peppers and
onions on the Griddler®. Set the timer for
15 minutes and cook, stirring occasionally
with silicone-tipped tongs until peppers and
onions are browned and melted.
4. Once time expires, transfer all of the
peppers and onions to the top half of
the griddle in preparation for cooking the
shrimp. Transfer to a serving bowl when
shrimp are done and toss with the
chopped cilantro.
5. Once shrimp have marinated, remove from
the refrigerator. Combine with the lime
juice and remaining salt. If using wooden
skewers, put 3 shrimp on each skewer. Set
the count-up timer and cook the skewers
on the bottom half of the grill for about 5
minutes on the first side and 3 minutes on
the other side until shrimp are fully opaque.
Alternately, shrimp may be cooked directly
on the bottom plate of the grill without
the skewers for the same amount of time.
Transfer shrimp to a
serving plate.
6. To assemble fajitas, put 3 shrimp on a tortilla
and top with a spoonful of the peppers and
onions. Serve with a small lime wedge and,
if desired, guacamole, salsa and sour cream.
