Servings: 4 servings
Equipment
- All-Clad Saute Pan The stainless steel pan I'm using for this recipe!
Ingredients
Shrimp Fajitas
- 1 ½ pounds jumbo shrimp peeled and deveined
- 1 yellow onion thinly sliced
- 2 bell peppers thinly sliced
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 lime
- 8 tortillas
Fajita Seasoning
- ½ tablespoon chili powder
- ½ tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Toppings
- avocado (or guacamole), sour cream, and salsa
Instructions
- Make the fajita seasoning. In a small bowl, stir together the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Season the shrimp. 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, then set it aside to marinate while you cook the onions.
- Sauté the onion and bell peppers. Heat the remaining two tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and bell peppers, and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes, until softened and the onions have started to caramelize. Transfer to a plate.
- Sauté the shrimp. In the same skillet, add the shrimp and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until they turn pink and opaque.
- Combine the shrimp and fajita veggies. Add the bell peppers and onions back to 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.
