Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
Shrimp Fajitas
- 1 1/2 pound jumbo shrimp peeled, and deveined
- 1 onion thinly sliced
- 2 bell peppers thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup olive oil (divided)
- 1 lime
- 8 tortillas
Fajita Seasoning
- 1/2 tablespoon chili powder
- 1/2 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Toppings
- avocado (or guacamole), sour cream, and salsa
Instructions
- In a small bowl, stir together the fajita seasoning ingredients.
- 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.
- 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.
- In the same skillet, add the shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn pink.
- 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.
Notes
