Unit 2: The Ingredients Dance
First, let’s gather our culinary troupe:
Four chicken fillets – the stars of the show.
Sixteen jumbo shrimp – our co-stars.
The Spice Ensemble: two teaspoons each of fine coriander, cumin, salt, dried onions, paprika, and sweet pepper, plus half a teaspoon of crushed chili pepper.
Four cloves of crushed garlic – the aromatic artists.
Two tablespoons of zesty lemon juice.
Freshly chopped parsley and coriander for that vibrant green touch.
Four tablespoons of olive oil – our backstage crew.
The Vegetable Ensemble: a medium-sized onion, a sweet red pepper, and a green sweet pepper, all cut into long, dramatic slices, and a quarter head of cabbage, sliced finely.
A pinch of salt and black pepper to season the action.
Unit 3: The Marinade Melody
Our secret to flavor explosion? The Marinade Melody!
Take a deep glass dish and assemble the fine coriander, cumin, dried onions, salt, paprika, sweet pepper, crushed garlic, lemon juice, chopped parsley, and a tablespoon of oil. Mix them into a harmonious marinade.
Add the chicken fillets and shrimp, letting them bask in the flavors. Cover the dish with cling film and let the cast chill in the fridge for at least half an hour – or let them rehearse overnight for maximum impact.
Unit 4: The Sizzling Act Begins
Now, let the sizzling act begin:
Heat a spoonful of oil in a wide frying pan over medium heat. Cue the chicken fillets, and let them shine under the spotlight until they’re perfectly cooked.
Next up, the shrimp! Stir them into the scene and let them dazzle until they turn a glorious shade of light pink.
Unit 5: The Veggie Ballet
While our protein stars take center stage, let’s choreograph the Veggie Ballet:
Heat the rest of the oil in another frying pan over medium heat.
The onions are the first dancers – sauté them over high heat until they soften.
Now, enter the sweet red pepper, the green sweet pepper, and the cabbage. Together, they perform a dance of vibrant colors and flavors. Stir-fry until they wilt, and don’t forget to sprinkle salt and pepper for that extra seasoning.
Unit 6: The Grand Finale
As we approach the grand finale:
Fire up the fajita serving pan over high heat. A little oil takes center stage.
It’s showtime! Pour in the dazzling vegetable mixture.
The chicken fillets, now transformed into thin slices, gracefully join the performance. They take their places on top of the vegetables.
The shrimp make their encore appearance, ensuring every bite is a flavorful medley.
Unit 7: The Fiesta Begins
