shrimp fajita recipe

Shrimp fajitas are an easy, flavorful, one-pan meal! Shrimp are tossed with bell peppers, onion, fajita seasoning, and zesty lime juice.

Shrimp Fajitas

shrimp

onion (thinly sliced)

bell peppers (thinly sliced)

olive oil (divided)

lime

tortillas

chili powder

cumin

garlic powder

paprika

oregano

salt

pepper

avocado (or guacamole), sour cream, and salsa

In a small bowl, stir together the fajita seasoning ingredients.

Toss

In a large bowl, add the shrimp, two tablespoons of olive oil, the juice from half a lime, and the fajita seasoning. Toss it all together until the shrimp is well coated and set it aside to marinate.

Cook

Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bell peppers and onions, and saute for 4-5 minutes or until softened and the onions have started to caramelize. Transfer to a plate.

Saute

In the same skillet, add the shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn pink.

Stir and Serve

Add the bell peppers and onions back into the skillet, give everything a toss, and squeeze more lime juice on top. Serve immediately with tortillas and extra toppings such as sour cream, pico de gallo and guacamole.

Meh. I had hoped to impress my family with this dish but it was uninspiring. The flavors were not strong at all, and I even doubled the garlic! Do not wait for shrimp to cook before putting the rest of the marinade in to simmer - it makes the shrimp over done if you do. I would say this is more of a shrimp taco dish than shrimp fajitas. Disappointed.
