3The Cook

    • Apply shrimp, sausage and veggies indirect to the fire for a slower cooking process. Rotate as needed to develop color and doneness until they reach a safe temperature.

    • Drop the fajita and chicken thighs on to direct heat.

    • Flip fajita and chicken every two minutes encourage even cooking and doneness until they reach food safe temperature.

    • Plate and serve all ingredients on a single, family-style platter.

    • Serve alongside your favorite sides like rice, beans, guacamole, salsas and tortillas.
