It’s already almost the end of summer days, and this year has become the year of staycations, road trips, and explorations of local favorites. What I miss most though is traveling to new places and discovering new foods. But we’re going to make the best of it. Summer is when there is an abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables at the market. We are so lucky to have access to fresh produce so it feels like it’s the perfect time to experiment in the kitchen. I wanted new dishes with bold flavors and want to incorporate all sorts of peppers and spices. And since Mazola Corn Oil is heart healthy, I want to incorporate it into my cooking too. Seasoned with so many spices, this honey chipotle shrimp zucchini noodles with fajita vegetables is delicious, flavorful, and so simple to make and will definitely become one of my go to dishes.

The shrimp is marinaded with honey, finely chopped chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, and a little bit of corn oil. The chipotle peppers give the shrimp a smoky flavor and the honey offsets it with a slight sweetness. Plus, I love that it takes so little time to cook. At the very end, you can easily add the zucchini noodles to let the zucchini soften and absorb all the flavor.

The red bell pepper, onions, green bell peppers, and mushrooms are tossed in corn oil, chipotle powder, paprika, oregano, and garlic powder. It is then roasted in Mazola Corn Oil for 20 minutes until all the vegetables are soft and slightly charred. Toss it with the shrimp and zucchini noodles, and the entire dish is ready to be served. Sooo good.
