So you love those fajitas you get at the local Mexican shop. You love how they come out of the kitchen with that wooden platter that has a nuclear hot cast iron pan on it. You can feel your mouth water as the waitress tells you to "watch it, the skillet is hot" and then she sets it down with her little oven mitt.
Well, this recipe isn't that. It's close, but it is not exactly what you get at the Mexican place. It is cheaper, probably faster, and tastes just as good. The only difference is that you don't have to have a 500 degree griddle to make these on.
Faux-Jitas aren't a poor man's fajitas, they are just a different way to go around getting a similar flavor and experience.
What You Need
1 Large yellow onion
4 or 5 Jalapeno peppers
6 Large cloves of garlic
8 Ounces of white button mushrooms
12 Ounce bag of frozen peel-n-eat shrimp
1 Lime
2 Tbs. of Adobo sauce or Adobo sauce with peppers
1 Bunch of cilantro
On top of that stuff, you are going to need olive oil, cumin, white vinegar, salt, and pepper.
Alternate ingredients you may wish to include are: tomatoes (I don't use them because I hate them on fajitas), yellow squash, zucchini, or roasted corn.
