QUICK AND EASY SHRIMP FAJITAS
This is a twist on a classic recipe using shrimp instead of beef or chicken. I use regular old taco seasoning to make it easier, but any seasoning combination for fajitas will work. Serve with refried beans and Spanish rice to make an easy meal!

SPICY SHRIMP FAJITAS
These shrimp fajitas are a great weeknight dish. Quick, easy, and delicious. If you prefer something milder, omit the chipotle peppers - but trust me - they really add some kick! I serve these with black or refried beans on the side. Very yummy. Serve with avocado, sour cream, and shredded Cheddar cheese if you like.

Tips:
- Prep your ingredients in advance: Chop the vegetables, shrimp, and cilantro before you start cooking. This will make the cooking process much faster and easier.
- Use a hot skillet or grill: This will help to create a nice sear on the shrimp and vegetables.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet or grill: If you overcrowd the pan, the shrimp and vegetables will steam instead of sear.
- Cook the shrimp until they are just cooked through: Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
- Serve the fajitas immediately: This is when they are at their best.
