Ingredients
450g raw shrimp
2 tbsp. fajita seasoning
1 tsp. garlic, minced
1 red pepper, sliced
1 yellow pepper, sliced
1 green pepper, sliced
1 medium onion, sliced
700g cauliflower rice, for serving
Method
In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with half of the fajita seasoning. Set aside for 15 minutes.
Heat 1 tbsp. olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add shrimp and cook for 4-5 minutes until pink and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp. olive oil and stir-fry the onions and bell peppers with the remaining fajita seasoning. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the veggies reach your desired tenderness.
Divide the cooked shrimp, veggies, and cauliflower rice among 4 meal prep containers. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 4 days.
Serving Suggestion: Avocado slices with fresh lemon wedges sprinkled with coriander leaves or drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Janie’s Nutrition Notes
Prawns are a lean protein source, while peppers and cauliflower rice provide fibre and volume. Add avocado for extra fats or include rice and tortillas when training demands more energy.
