In this second novel about psychics, white witches, and voodoo priestesses, we are introduced to Rafe, a pirate ghost who is accidentally summoned to the present by Althea during a spell they are casting to prevent black magic from infiltrating their little town of Siesta Key.
Miss Elva Rose, the voodoo priestess, calls a meeting to discuss the murders that occurred and sends Althea and Rafe to get dinner from a Mexican Food Truck; they got chicken and beef fajitas. I was planning the Fiesta for Frank and already had beef tacos and chicken tamales on the menu, so I decided on Shrimp Fajitas for a fish option and served black bean enchiladas as a vegetarian option.
This second novel in the series is, like the first, very predictable, silly, and fun. If you are looking for a book that requires brainpower, look elsewhere, but if you are looking for a cute, quick read or something to listen to as you plan a party, take a walk, or work around the house, take a look. This book fits the bill.
Sheet Pan Shrimp Fajitas
Perfectly seasoned, sweet bell peppers, onions, and succulent shrimp roasted in a hot oven on sheet pans are ideal for serving a crowd or for a quick weeknight menu, with quantities adjusted for your family.
Ingredients
- 4 lbs. large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4-6 bell peppers, asst. colors, seeded and cut into slices
- 1 large or 2 small Vidalia onions, peeled, halved, and cut into slices
- 4 T. olive oil, divided
- 6 T. fajita seasoning, divided
Instructions
- Place the peppers, onions, 2 Tablespoons of Olive Oil, and 3 Tablespoons of seasoning in a large bowl. Toss until coated. Spread onto a baking sheet and place in a preheated 425* oven for 10 minutes.
- Place the shrimp into the same bowl. Add the remaining olive oil and seasoning. Toss to coat. If making a smaller batch, you can push the vegetables to one side after 10 minutes and add the shrimp to the other side. Otherwise, place the seasoned shrimp onto a second baking sheet and place it in the oven after the vegetables have been in for 10 minutes.
- Roast for another 10 minutes after placing the shrimp in the oven. Until the vegetables are tender and slightly browned, and the shrimp are plump and pink.
- Place onto a platter and serve with warmed flour tortillas and desired condiments.
