Ingredients

1 lbs Outside skirt steak
1 lbs Large shrimp
7 oz Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
1/4 cup Pickled jalapeno juice
1 Lime
1 Orange
2 tbsp Dad's Taco seasoning

Instructions

Trim any access fat off the skirt steak and cut the strip it into smaller portions.
In a blender add chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, pickled jalapeno juice, freshly squeezed lime and orange juice and 1 tbsp of Dad's Taco seasoning. Blend the ingredients together and pour it over the skirt steak. Set the marinating beef in the fridge for 1 hour.
For the shrimp, first devein and remove shells off large fresh shrimp. Drizzle olive oil on the crustaceans and season with 1/2 tbsp of Dad's Taco seasoning.
Slice 1 inch thick strips of colorful bell peppers and white onion.
Preheat the griddle, grill or pan to medium to high heat. Drizzle some olive oil on the flat top and start by placing the veggies first. Sprinkle 1/2 tbsp of Dad's Taco seasoning for some flavor and continue flipping until the veggies start to soften. Move them to the side and keep them warm over low heat.
Sear the marinated skirt steak on the griddle for 2-3 minutes per side. Once the internal temperature reaches 130degrees, remove the steak pieces off the griddle and let them rest. Cover with foil.
Toss the seasoned shrimp on the flat top and grill for 4 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
