How to Make Surf n’ Turf Cajun Fajitas
Step 1: Prep the Veggies
Slice the peppers, onion, and jalapeños.
Using a Drip EZ Prep Tub keeps everything contained while slicing and seasoning — especially helpful when tossing veggies with oil and rub.
Toss vegetables with:
- Olive oil
- Cajun rub
Grill over medium heat until softened and the onions turn translucent. Remove and set aside.
Step 2: Grill the Skirt Steak
Season the skirt steak generously with Surf & Turf rub.
Grill hot and fast:
- 3–4 minutes per side
You’re looking for a good sear and medium-rare to medium internal temp.
Remove from grill and let rest before slicing thin against the grain.
The Prep Tub also doubles as a resting and transport tray from grill to counter — keeping juices contained and cleanup simple.
Step 3: Grill the Shrimp
Season shrimp HEAVILY with Cajun rub.
Grill until opaque and slightly charred, about 2–3 minutes per side.
Shrimp cooks quickly, so keep an eye on it.
Step 4: Make the Cajun Lime Cream
In a small bowl, mix:
- ½ cup Mexican table sour cream
- 1 tbsp Cajun rub
Stir until smooth.
Squeeze in fresh lime juice to taste for brightness and balance.
Step 5: Warm & Build
Warm tortillas on the grill or stovetop.
Layer:
- Sliced skirt steak
- Cajun shrimp
- Grilled peppers and onions
Drizzle with Cajun lime cream and finish with a squeeze of fresh lime.
Serve immediately.
